Description

I am Martina and I come from Bologna, one of Italy’s most interesting and beautiful cities. In Bologna, I am a primary teacher: I work at school with children with disabilities. My job is one of the reasons why every day I wake up tired, but smiley. I really love it.
I'm a book lover, I love reading every genre of book. My kind of a perfect weekend is being surrounded by nature, in the company of a good book and good friends.
Last summer I went to Norway with an Interrail Pass. This journey changed my life completely. I left Bologna and in a day and a half, I arrived in Oslo. I spent some days in the capital, Bergen,Trondheim, Flam and Myrdal with the Flamsbana and finally I reached the place I have dreamt to see for so long, Lofoten Island. There I made some of the best memories of my life. However the trip came to an end so I had to go home, but half of my heart is still there in the Lofoten. This is why this summer I want to take back the half of my heart that I have left there, but I know that I will leave here the other half.

More details about your skills

In my life, I have always invested all my energies in what I have to do. I'm very good with children, in fact I work with them almost every day. Many years ago, I babysat a lot of kids and I helped teens with homework and school stuff.
I worked for three years at a bar here in Italy, so I can make coffee and cocktails and I like working with people.
Like a real Italian girl, I can cook very well, especially Italian food. My family is crazy about my pizza.
Regarding manual work, even though when I was younger I always helped my dad and my grandfather in craft work in our mountain’s house, I believe I cannot do this stuff alone but I am willing to try and learn if you teach me how to do it, I am a fast learner.
