Descripción

Hello!! :)

I’m Lidia, a 22-year-old university student who absolutely can't wait to spend the summer exploring the world, discovering other cultures and meeting new people to share memories, experiences and worldviews with. I was born and raised in Italy, I lived Australia, and I am now settled in the Netherlands for my studies. I had the opportunity to travel quite a lot throughout my life, yet the list of countries I'd love to visit is endless, and any opportunity to live a new adventure is welcome.

Hopping from one country to another made me realize what it means to live in a multicultural environment, blending with new cultures and lifestyles, getting used to feeling at home even when my family is on the other side of the world. My objective is not only visiting new countries, but immersing myself completely into local cultures and creating true, meaningful connections with people who probably have had a very different life path, habits, traditions and views from me. I am curious, open-minded, inquisitive, I want to discover, learn, and share in order to broaden my horizons and gain a new perspective. I believe traveling is a two-way journey where we both give and receive. As much as I would like to bring meaningful connections and memories from my trips, I would also like to leave something positive for the people I meet. Whether it’s through volunteering, helping out in community projects, language exchange, or simply sharing stories and skills, I want to make a small, positive impact.

I think my contribution would be versatile: I have experience teaching languages (I used to teach English and Italian to migrants in my town), I am good at creative and manual projects, and I have strong organizational skills as I have often participated to community projects for local NGOs and student groups alongside university. Moreover, my education in International Studies and Anthropology provided me with skills in intercultural communications and cultural sensitivity. I am especially passionate about creative activities like photography, painting, and drawing, and I usually document my journeys through writing and visual arts. I always love to share this passion with the people I meet during my trips, and I really look forward to meeting new friends, sharing stories, and contributing in any way I can!

I would be interested in both learning and teaching a language. I've been teaching Italian to migrant communities in my town for a couple of years, and last summer I was teaching English in Cambodia. I would be happy to teach English or Italian to whoever is interested as well as learning new languages myself!

Que habilidades tienes?

I am a university student of International Studies and Anthropology, which means that I have learnt to understand and appreciate different cultures, worldviews and traditions with great curiosity, respect and open-mindedness, being always ready to learn something new from others while sharing my own culture in an enriching exchange.

Beyond my native language (Italian), I am fluent in English and I am learning French. I have volunteered as a teacher of Italian for migrant communities in my town, and taught English to elementary school kids in Cambodia. I am always happy to share languages with others!

I have also worked as a babysitter and pet-sitter (cats, dogs, rabbits... I love any type of animal). Moreover, I have experience in NGO work, for example finding partners and donors, as I am currently working at a student-led organization in the Netherlands for youth empowerment and interning at an NGO promoting cultural exchange. Finally, I have creative and practical skills: painting, arts and crafts, or more generally doing any type of (not too technical) manual work.
