Description

Born and raised in Milan. I've had various experiences abroad over the past 18 years, including au pair jobs in London, Dublin, Madrid and NYC.
I lived in London from 2012 to 2016, working in Hospitality, Retail and Journalism; after a brief stint in Zagreb for an editorial internship during the summer of 2016, I went back to Milan and worked in Retail and Customer Care until mid-2017, when I left for Australia.
I was in Australia for a year from the beginning of May 2017 until the end of April 2018, mostly working in Hospitality, then went backpacking through SE Asia (I visited Bali, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Nepal) until the end of January 2019, when I went back to Australia for a couple of months, before heading to Japan.
Here, I volunteered at the Nature Resort in Shimanto for nearly four weeks until early May, then participated in another Workaway project near Itoshima for four and a half weeks until mid June.
After travelling around Kyushu for a month, and later South Korea for about two weeks, I went back to Milan at the end of July 2019.
I worked remotely as a freelance proofreader until mid-November 2021, when I left for Canada with a working holiday visa! I lived and worked in Revelstoke, BC, for 6 months then volunteered and travelled my way around Canada from mid-May to mid-November 2022, joining diverse projects but mostly helping with housekeeping.
After a few months in Italy, I lived and worked at a glamping in West Norway from the end of May until mid-September 2023.
I lived and worked in Rovaniemi, Finland, as a receptionist at a local resort from mid-October 2023 until the end of March 2024.
Next? Hopefully, Greece!

Autres infos...

I have a BA degree in Foreign Languages and Literature (English and French). I possess language certificates such as the FCE, DELF and TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). While I was still in Milan after graduating, I studied Japanese for 8 months and I'd like to resume it and practise it next time I go to Japan...because, you bet, I'll visit the country again!

In Milan and in London I took Rock Music History and Music Journalism courses and I participated in a Film Criticism workshop.

In Milan I took kick-boxing lessons for four years and I'm a blue belt. During my time in Melbourne (Australia) and Revelstoke (Canada) I went swimming at least twice a week at the local aquatic centre. I like a good game of badminton when I get the opportunity.

I love pets (my family in Milan has two cats). I had the chance to pet sit during my time in Perth (Western Australia). Furthermore, while in Malaysia in August 2018, I volunteered at an animal shelter in Langkawi, looking after stray dogs and cats for five weeks.

I'm a keen amateur photographer and I like travelling. I enjoy being indoors as much as being outdoors, I like hiking and nature and I like going off the beaten track to explore my surroundings.

I love all things culture (music, cinema, theatre, art, literature etc.). I like meeting new people to have deep, stimulating conversations with them.

I'm determined, hard-working, precise, responsible, focused, driven and independent but I also work well in a team. I'm funny and outgoing, honest, polite and reliable.
