Hi! I'm Giulia, I'm 24 years old and I love travelling around the world. I like meeting people and I'm deeply interested in stories people can tell. I'm from Rome, Italy, but I'm living in Forlì, a small town near Bologna, where I'm attending a Master degree in Specialized Translation.
I've been living in Granada for 9 months in 2014/15 and I worked in Mallorca during summer 2015; I really take Spanish in my stride and I'm completely in love with Catalan. Last summer I spent four months in Ireland where I worked as an aupair - I had to take care of two little monsters, Kirsten (7 y.o.) and Matthew (10 y.o.).
I'm a translation student and a children's books translator, currently working for the Spanish publishing house NubeOcho. I like analog photography, I usually travel with a Konika FS1 but as it got broken, right now I'm using a marvellous Nikon F2.
