Description

Hi!
I am Paola from Italy.
I've always had a passion for traveling and exploring different cultures. For that reason, I studied Foreign Languages in university and I always tried to experience life in different places.
I have a deep passion for East Asia (especially China and Japan), calligraphy, origami and tea.

I am a respectful and positive person, who enjoys understanding the essence of people and things.
I have had experiences taking care of children (I volunteered as an au-pair in Germany), teaching languages, and guiding tourists. I am happy to share Italian culture and any knowledge from my previous life experiences.
I love natural landscapes, quaint villages, animals (especially birds), and hiking. I also enjoy exercising, swimming, yoga and photography.

I look forward to meeting you!
