My next destination:
Aurland, Norway - from Jun 2025 until Aug 2025 View allDescription
I’ve spent my life immersing myself in different cultures — from a cross-country road trip through the U.S. with my family, to a year studying in Australia, a solo adventure across Vietnam, and most recently, working as a dog musher in Swedish Lapland.
I love embracing challenges — whether it’s collecting plastic in remote parts of Norway, sleeping 20 hours on a bus, eating insects, or breaking through language barriers. Getting out of my comfort zone is what truly makes me feel alive. And if I can do that while contributing to meaningful causes or helping others through volunteering or work experiences, that’s incredibly fulfilling to me.Interests

More details about your skills
I went to a marketing high school before starting to study acting at an academy in Rome where I lived for two years. After joining an acting agency, I also had the opportunity to be in two TV shows – one for adults and one for kids – both in English.
I’m fluent in English (C1 level) and i'm native Italian speaker , and I can get by in Spanish. Thanks to my Swedish roots, I understand a bit of Swedish too.
I’m tech-savvy and love making videos. I even had a YouTube channel while I was living in Australia! I’ve worked in hospitality, from waiting tables to entertaining guests at a resort. That’s where I really learned to connect with people. I worked in a kitchen cooking smash burgers for 6 months too. I love animals – I’ve had everything from rabbits to my current dog. I'm really into working out, yoga and meditation and I’m a big fan of cold weather and cold plunges!Age

What else ...
I'm a big fan of playing cards and role-playing games. I love to go camping, hiking, reaching the top of the mountains and watching sunrises and sunsets while sharing stories with friends.
