Description

Hallo, My name is Andrea. I was born in 1972, I graduated in Philosophy and I'm a professional journalist and photographer. I have three children (12, 17, 19 years old) and a partner. After 25 years in the world of magazine and communication I have decided to change my life and look for a job in the International Development and Cooperation. In November I will start a master degree in that field and I need to develop my foreign languages, in particular France (my english is good enough... I hope) that is something like "zero". I need to learn at least the basics of the language and for that reason I'm looking for a host that can help me in this. In change I can help with my experience in "do-it-yourselfe" and mechanical (I have a diploma in mechanical technician). I like manual work, nature, and animals. I can also work with other people and the children in the field of teaching. I am a simple and humble person who adapts quickly to every situation. Thank-you

More details about your skills

I'm a journalist and phographer and I've worked for 25 year in the field of communication (publish company, communication agency, event). Like editor in chief of one Italian monthly magazine I have developed skills in marketing, human resource, event's organization.
But I'm a fan of DIY and manual work: I've a mechanical technician diploma and I like to use may hands to do a lot of job. I personally perform all maintenance work at home, from the gardening to small household repairs.
I like also the animals and I'd like work in the field of education: my humanistic background and the fact that I have raised three children can help me in this.
For work purpose, I've travel a lot: I'm adaptable to every situation and every culture. I'm curious and I like the outdoor's life.

What else ...

I'm a motorcycle fan: I've raced for 10 years and I know everything about them. I was been a tester for many important Italian magazine, on and off-road.

I read a lot: magazine, newspaper, book.
I'm interesting to know other culture, habits, religion, way of life.
