Currently in Ireland, looking for hosts for next autumn :)

Descripción

Hi! :)

My name is Chiara, I'm 37 and I come from central Italy.
I have an educational background in art (illustration and photography) and linguistic studies, and working experience as English teacher and travel consultant working for an American Tour Operator.

I'm most of all a curious person with a deep love for beauty. Travelling has been my main passion since 2014 and I was blessed enough to have multiple chances to explore new places and meet amazing people through working experiences and volunteering via different platforms.

I worked as aupair girl in California and Germany , travelled solo for professional teaching trainings in Poland and Romania, and spent two months in Ireland as workawayer in 2016, working on an organic garden in Whitegate, helping in tidying up and redecorating an old cottage near Mullingar and helping at a B&B in Kinsale.

That's when I irreparably fell in love with Ireland! After starting teaching in high school in 2020, I took advantage of every summer break to fly north and spent my holidays exploring the West Coast and workawaying on farms, B&Bs and hostels between Co. Cork and Co. Mayo.
Last July I relocated to Co. Mayo and got my PPS number, and I'm now hoping to work in tourism here West.

What I've experienced so far strengthened my curiousity and sharpened my ability to observe and listen, and I've learnt to appreciate softer qualities which are the essence of human resistance to today's hectic life, such care, patience, flexibility and empathy. I'm a very correct and respectful person, and I'd eager to make meaningful and enriching connections through travelling and workawaying.

Therefore, apart from working, helping and learning new skills, I'd love to meet people I can connect at a deeper level with, and learn about their lives and their cultural backgrounds.

As extra unuseful (?) info, I'm into music and dances, literature, figurative arts and architecture, and I love reading about folk tales and mythology :)

Algo más...

This year I'm going back to my host family in Co. Mayo from the end of June to Mid-September, and I'm then planning to settle down in West Clare or North Kerry.

I'm looking for hosts who may need help from mid September onwards, ideally in hospitality (as I'd like to learn as much as possible about tourism in the area in order to look for a job next spring).

I'd be happy to also help around the house or garden, or in any way that could help connect me with Irish speakers and people who are into traditional Irish culture and music (and hopefully teach me something about it! :)

I'd like to learn new skills in gardening, farming, building, carpentry too, so if you need someone to help and you are ok with teaching me I'll be more than glad to commit!

I've been into couchsurfing for a bit, so if you need references I can link you my profile. You can also learn a bit more about me and my travels via instagram.
