Description

I’m an enthusiastic, empathetic, and adventurous person who loves connecting with people. I’m endlessly curious about different perspectives, cultures, and ways of living. I truly feel most alive while learning from others.

I try to approach everyone and everything with an open heart and a nonjudgmental mindset. I really believe that when we listen without judging, we create space for real understanding and connection.

I love to take action and work hard — whether it’s helping out with a project, organizing something new, or simply being part of a team effort. It gives me a lot of energy to work with other people and create something together.

One of my biggest dreams is to one day live in Italy and create a small hostel where travelers from all around the world can meet, share stories, and inspire each other. I hope that the connections made there will create beautiful “butterfly effects”: New relationships, friendships, inspirations and so on.

That's the reason why I signed up for Workaway: to experience new places and people in Italy and learn the language.

More details about your skills

I’m a curious and enthusiastic person who loves to take action and really listen to others. Over the past few years, I’ve had the chance to work in very different environments, all of which taught me a lot about people, teamwork, and responsibility.

I worked in retail for four years, where I eventually took on the role of store manager. That experience gave me strong problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to lead a team, analyse situations, and make sure everything ran smoothly.

After that, I became a personal trainer for two years. I loved helping people reach their goals, learning how to motivate others, and understanding what they really need and act on those needs to achieve the goals together.

More recently, I’ve been working in a bar, which has taught me how to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and create a positive atmosphere for both guests and coworkers.

The recent travels through Australia and New Zealand gave me a whole new perspective on life and reminded me how much I enjoy connecting with people from different cultures.

Through all these experiences, I’ve learned to work hard, to be self-independent when needed, and to thrive as part of a team. I’m happiest when I can contribute, learn, and share good energy with the people around me.

What else ...

In my free time, I love staying active and exploring new experiences. I enjoy walking and wandering, going to the gym for yoga and weightlifting, and I have a real passion for boxing and MMA. I did a few years of boxing myself and was pleasantly surprised by how loyal and friendly the community was. It taught me so much about discipline and respect.

I also enjoy quieter moments, like reading and sipping a good glass of wine with loved ones. I'm also a bit of a geek for Greek mythology and the Roman Empire. I really could talk about them for hours haha.

I’m always eager to try new things, whether I end up loving them or not — the fun is in the exploration itself.
