Description
I am a student researcher studying circular economy in the textile industry of Prato. I am passionate about pursuing environmentally sustainable and socially just solutions.
I am in Italy until the end of June and am seeking opportunities where I can contribute to chores and household tasks in exchange for a place to call home for a bit. I speak intermediate Italian and am eager to continuing learning the language (and happy to share my own native tongue English!).
I am clean, organized, and always eager to lend a hand. I enjoy cooking (vegetarian), triathlon (biking, running, swimming), hiking, and visiting new places-- but urban and rural. I am also a very experienced horse trainer/dressage rider and was a collegiate tennis player as well as trombonist (mostly jazz!).
I have proudly not paid rent for the past 5 years, but instead lived in mutually beneficial exchanges -- the majority has been house/petsitting, but I've also spent significant time as an elderly care-giver and worker/rider at horse barns, and workawayer!Interests

They were also a couple of the most appreciative workawayers we've had. We loved having them around and would have them… read more
