Descripción

Hi! We are a young Italian couple, Sofia (23) and Stefano (24), and we’re excited to start our first Workaway experience.
We recently chose Ireland as our next destination primary because we want to improve our English. We also love nature, quiet places and authentic cultural experiences.

About us:
We’ve been together for almost 7 years, so we’re used to sharing tasks, coordinating our days and supporting each other.
We are friendly, respectful, clean and adaptable.
We both have a Univeristy degree in Tourism and we have always worked in hospitality or customer-facing roles, so we feel very comfortable interacting with guests, helping people and providing a warm, positive atmosphere.

Sofia:
I’m passionate about sustainable tourism, local cultures and everything related to hospitality. I’m organized and creative. I enjoy cooking meals and cakes, helping with guests, taking care of animals and supporting with general house or garden tasks.

Stefano:
He is practical, calm and very proactive. He enjoys outdoor work, he learns fast and likes being helpful wherever needed.

What we can help with:
- Housekeeping & cooking
- Helping with guests / reception support
- Gardening, outdoor work, general maintenance
- Pet care
- Simple content creation (photos/videos) for social media

What we’re looking for:
A welcoming environment where we can contribute, learn new skills, improve our English and experience local life from the inside. We’re flexible with tasks and working hours and always give our best.

Why Ireland:
Irish people are known for being friendly, open and genuinely interested in talking with others. This helps us practise English naturally in everyday situations.
Workaway felt like the perfect way to truly live the country, not just visit it.

Why Iceland:
We choose Iceland because it’s a place where we can truly grow. Here, we’re surrounded by inspiring landscapes, a safe and welcoming society, and a culture that values nature, creativity and community. By staying with you, we’d have the chance to experience the real Iceland while learning from locals, sharing our own culture, and contributing positively to your home and daily life.

Why North Europe:
We’re drawn to Northern Europe for its strong connection with nature, its focus on sustainability and its welcoming, balanced way of life. We love the idea of living in places where community, authenticity and the outdoors are part of everyday life. For us, it’s the perfect environment to grow, improve our English and experience a culture that truly inspires us.

Hosting us means welcoming motivated, curious people who want to connect, help out and make the most of this unique country. Together, we can create an experience that’s meaningful for both sides.

We’re excited to meet our future host and share a meaningful experience together!
Thank you for reading our profile — hope to hear from you soon!
