About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm dividing my currently really busy life between Florence (the city where I live) and Siena, another wonderful place in Tuscany, where I'm studying for my triennal degree as linguistic mediator.

I'm friendly, open minded and really curious. I love other cultures and foreign languages, because I think everyone and everything can be interesting, you have just to be open with others, with the stranger.. with the world :D

CURRENT MISSION

I don't know what I want to be in the future, what will be my work.. I just know I love traveling, meeting new people, discovering the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Barrier exist only in our mind!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Flexible haha, I love lot of different kinds and genres of books, film and music :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Everytime I dive underwater and I feel free swimming like a fish in the immense :)
- I spent one week on a sailing boat, it was incredible to stay a week through the sea, far from the city..
- I lived 3 months in Córdoba. It was the best experience of my life because I felt like a TRAVELER and a LOCAL at the same time.

Teach, Learn, Share

In Córdoba I had 2 works: I worked in a hostel and in a academy with young guys from all Europe spending some weeks in Andalucía to learn spanish.
During this time I did a lot of things: I was receptionist, tourist guide, translator, linguistic mediator.. and of course I met and worked with people from all over the world!

But the BEST of all is that thanks to these roles I could try the wonderful feeling of responsibility when you have to help people to make the most of their experience abroad..
I mean, when you are a local you have to offer to travelers tips, suggestions but above all your kindness and your experience.. you are like their reference point.
In this way you can change the travel of people you meet, helping them to have the best, and it's something such amazing to think that the SUCCESS of their journey, of their experience in a foreign country depends also ON YOU! :)
