Description

Hi I'm Melissa, 27-year-old Italian girl, nice to meet you!

I am passionate about music, live gigs, cooking - especially plant-based dishes but also traditional Italian food - visiting new places and diving into new cultures. As a nature enthusiast and someone who has grown up with pets, I enjoy walking outdoors, hiking and being surrounded by animals, I love swimming and enjoy spending time by the sea and river in the summer.

I am a calm but active person. I am also very curious to discover new things and learn new skills.

I hold a Master's degree in International Business and Development and a Bachelor's degree in Asian Studies. My dream is to pursue a career in international cooperation.
During my academic years, I simultaneously worked hard in a variety of roles, including as a store cashier, delivery driver, babysitter, help desk customer service for a multi-utility company, and creating and selling personalized Christmas packages for clients.

I spent three months in Vietnam during my degree to collect data for my thesis about waste management in Vietnamese enterprises, this experience helped me developing intercultural communication skills, as well as adaptability and flexibility.

I am here to get new experiences around the world and connect with people :)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

- I have nearly two years of experience working with children. I spent almost a year living as an au pair in County Kerry, Ireland, where I took care of three kids full-time, cook for them and in addition I was doing household chores and taking care of the family's doggy.

- Most of all, I love dogs and animals in general! I have experience caring for pets.
I volunteered at a shelter with nearly 140 dogs near Sofia, Bulgaria for two months (April-May 2025).
My first solo travel experience abroad was at 18, when I spent a month on a farm in Switzerland. I cared for baby goats (I fed them milk and hay) while also assisting with setting up tables for the farm stay clients and general cleaning duties.

- My first workaway was a cultural exchange in an amazing Turkish family and working at a walnut farm.

- Generally, I am deeply interested in social and environmental sustainability. During my academic years, I actively participated in a student group that organized activities to raise awareness about climate change and environmental issues among our city's citizens, including book presentations with authors, film screenings, and the creation of social media content. I'm not a professional, but I enjoy using Canva to try to create nice graphics.

- During my job in Italy in the customer service sector I developed skills such as good communication, active listening and a little bit of patience!
