Hi everybody, here it's Celeste!
I am an Italian PhD student at Cranfield University (UK) in environmental science. As I am finishing writing my thesis, I'm looking for a nice stay around Bedford/London, to have a cultural exchange with locals, while transitioning into the next phase :)
I've been using Workaway for years, in France, Catalunya, Denmark and Latin America and I always had great experiences. I have volunteered as an Au Pair, helping with environmental projects (eco tourism, reforestation, permaculture), artistic residency and helping in a B&B with room attendance and kitchen chores.
In general, I am a creative, hard working and positive person. I believe in mutual respect. I really love meeting new people and sharing opinions, ideas, projects, dreams as curiosity and enthusiasm are keys for me.
Hope to meet you soon, ciao 😊 !Languages

Fast-learning worker and fearless of the hard work when having a good motivation.
I have experience as waitress, kitchen porter and help, cook in Belgium and Italy. I got some experiences in offices and houses cleaning in Denmark, during my MSc studies. I got some skills in pottery, due to some courses I did in Spain and Italy and to some family's interests in it; some experience in theatre, private teaching, babysitting (5+ yo), museum guiding etc.
I am physically fit, as I love practicing different sports, and that may be useful for some little heavier tasks in the fields or with animals.Age
30
What else ...
Happy to organise a schedule together, keeping it flexible based on the needs of both parties :)
As I'm in the final stage of writing my thesis, I need to dedicate some time for it daily and I'd need a good WiFi connection. Occasionally, I'd need to reach Cranfield for in person meeting, by public transport.Some more information

Her work with our daughter was excellent. They got on very well, playing games, singing songs, doing crafts and learning English and Italian at the same time!
The secret of this little, fairy corner of the world is really simple: beauty, respect, thankfulness, open heart and mind, soul affluence make this amazing square of ground such… read more
