Descrição

After almost 20 years working and building a career in international cooperation and development, I decided two years ago to take a step back and look at my life from a different angle, to explore where my heart is and to focus on meaningful, grounded experiences.

Since 2023, I’ve been focusing on my personal yoga practice, spending more time in nature, and developing my gardening and environmental skills. Swimming and hiking are two of my lifelong favorite activities, and I feel most alive when I’m outdoors and connecting with nature and like-minded people.

I strongly believe in sustainable agriculture and in living simply, organically, and in harmony with nature and all beings (humans, plants, and animals).

Over the past period, I’ve also discovered a deep love for cooking and preparing simple, nourishing meals from basic ingredients. I’m especially drawn to sattvic-style cooking and natural, wholesome foods, and I truly enjoy learning about Italian cuisine, local ingredients, and traditional recipes.

I’m currently looking for meaningful work or volunteer opportunities in Italy that align with my passions and skills. I enjoy garden and manual work (both light and physically demanding), and I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter. I grew up in an animal-loving household and have done several pet-sitting assignments over the years.

I’ve also worked with biodiversity, sustainability, and environmental institutes and organizations, which exposed me to principles of sustainable agriculture. I would love to gain more hands-on experience in this field. I truly enjoy DIY projects and consider myself a fast learner, always eager to develop new skills, especially related to agriculture, gardening, and land care.

Growing up in the land of olives and vines, I regularly participated in olive and grape harvesting, maintaining land and terraces, and I’ve always been curious to learn more about wine production.

Although I’m in my early 40s, I’m very much a child at heart. I enjoy spending time with children, playing outdoors, and supporting experiential learning and schoolwork. I’ve spent many years working as a tutor and sports trainer for children.

Italy has been a recurring destination throughout my work and study journey over the past two decades. I currently work part-time as a freelance nonprofit management consultant, which allows me to balance remote work with hands-on volunteering. I’m also focusing on improving my Italian, with the hope of finding a home away from home through meaningful work in a place that truly resonates with me

Mais detalhes sobre meu interesse em idiomas
I’m very interested in languages and cultural exchange. I love learning languages and communicating with people from different backgrounds. I speak Arabic and English fluently. My favorite language is Italian, which I’ve been actively learning for the past one to two years and practicing in daily life. I also learned German while living and studying in Germany. I speak intermediate to fluent Czech, which I learned through my mother and during my stays in the Czech Republic (I’m Czech by birth as well). I’m always happy to practice languages, help others with Arabic or English, and continue improving my Italian through immersion.

Quais são suas habilidades?

I enjoy practical, hands-on work and feel most comfortable in simple, nature-based environments. I have experience with gardening, basic field work, planting, weeding, harvesting, watering, composting, and general land care. I’m happy to follow instructions, learn new techniques, and adapt to different ways of working.

I’m comfortable helping with daily farm and household tasks such as cooking, food preparation, cleaning, organizing, laundry, and maintaining shared spaces. I enjoy cooking simple, healthy meals and can follow recipes or learn local dishes.

I have experience with animal care, including feeding, cleaning living areas, and observing animals’ wellbeing. I’m attentive, gentle, and patient with animals.

I’m also well suited for house and property sitting: keeping spaces clean, watering plants, checking systems, and making sure everything runs smoothly while hosts are away.

I work well independently once I understand tasks, and I’m also happy working as part of a small team. I’m reliable, calm, respectful of rules and routines, and I take responsibility seriously. I value clear communication and mutual respect.

I’m especially interested in working on farms, food forests, eco-projects, and small rural properties where I can contribute in practical ways, learn more about sustainable living, and spend time in nature.
