Description
Hi, my name is Paulina and I'm a 27 year old girl from Vienna, Austria.

I worked in eCommerce/Marketing for an Austrian Drugstore Company for more than 6 years and finished my studies in corporate communications in 2021. I quit my job at the beginning of 2023 to get some experience living and working abroad. Currently, till November 2024, I am working as a receptionist of 4 star hotel in Polignano a Mare in Puglia, Italy.

I'm in love with the Italian language, culture and country in general. I would like to improve my Italian and spend some time in Italy while making new experiences, meeting people and take some time to myself to have a reset form the past stressful years working in a competitive business environment.

I am really passionate about travelling, yoga, vegan/vegetarian cooking (vegetarian for almost 10 years), animals and learning the Italian language.

I'm was in Italy from June 2023 and stayed till December 2023. My Italian has really much improved in that time and I could already get some experience in hospitality, cleaning, reception, garden work, harvest, cooking and working with animals.

For November me and my boyfriend Rafael (check out his linked profile) from Lisbon, Portugal are looking for an opportunity to explore new places and learn new skills. We are a young, motivated, open-minded, international couple with many interest. We met last year on a workaway in Italy and live in a long distance relationship ever since going back and forth between Italy, Austria and Portugal. Since we had a great experience with workaways in Italy we are looking for a host that provides us with new challenges and interesting tasks. We have a hands on mentality and are flexible to work a variety of tasks to support our future host where we can. We are looking forward to meeting new people and create even more everlasting memories together by giving our helping hands to a welcoming host.

I already was doing the following workaways:
- Allrounder in a B&B and farm in Ispica, Sicily
- Receptionist in a Hostel in Napoli, Campania
- Allrounder on a Campsite in Lido di Ostia, Lazio
- Receptionist in a Hostel in Bari, Puglia
- Marketing, Harvesting and Garden work in an Agriturismo in Catanzaro, Calabria

More details about my language interests
At the moment my Italian level is B1. Since coming to Italy in June of this year I have improved so much while talking to various people even in different dialects and also from time to time using only Italian during my different workaway experiences. I've spent one month in Rome in 2021 attending a language school and also did my final exam in school in Italian. In Austria I was practicing with an app, by reading books, listening to music, watch movies and attending a language class whenever possible.

We spent 3 weeks with Ann and Fergus and had a really good time with them! We got to sleep in our own house which was a Trulli, typical for that region. We did a lot of work in the garden, from picking olives, moving the compost, moving wood piles/stones and renewing a walkway to digging our stone walls and building a veggie bed. We felt welcome… read more

Paulina and Rafael spent three weeks with us in November 2024. They communicated very well beforehand and arrived on schedule. We had lots of jobs for them to do, digging out
terrace rock walls, pruning, general gardening, building a raised vegetable garden, moving and stacking wood, moving rocks, olive picking and
cooking. They did great work,… read more

I stayed with Elvira in November 2023 for almost 3 weeks and had an amazing experience! The tasks we had to do were so different every day so we could explore a lot of different works around the beautiful agriturismo. With a view over the see we picked olives, cut trees, harvested mandarins and lemons, helped in the kitchen and repaired/prepared… read more

Paulina worked in our hostel for two months and was absolutely brilliant. Hard working, proactive, positive, just a real pleasure to host. She really is an amazing person with a great sense of humour and I’m very glad to have met her. Thank you Pauli and all the best!

It’s hard to put the amazing experience at the Hostel in words. I stayed two months there in September and October and it was one of the best time I had in Italy. Bari and the surrounding small cities like Monopoli, Ostuni, Polignano, etc. were just beautiful to visit and the work at the hostel was always really fair. The location of the hostel is… read more

Sebastian was a great host and was always available for questions. He could not be at the camp all the time but that did not matter because of the good communication. The work was rather easy and the place is really good to calm your mind. Work usually consisted of a bit of cleaning and keeping the common areas tidy, checking in the guests and be… read more

I had an amazing stay at the hostel. In total I was staying for almost a month and could not be happier about the experience. The accommodation was really fair considering the work there was to do.

I stayed at Daria’s place for almost a month and it was my first workaway. I could not have wished for a better host she was always kind and welcoming and had the best intentions for us. Sometimes there was more work and on some days there was less but regardless she always made it possible for us to also have free time to enjoy by lending us her… read more
