More details about your skills
FRANCESCA:
I have recently completed my Bachelor's degree in Design and Communication at the Polytechnic University of Turin, which has given me a solid understanding of everything related to design and project planning, as well as improved my teamwork and problem-solving skills.
Since I was a child, I have loved all kinds of hands-on and DIY activities. I used to enjoy helping my father with household tasks, from painting walls to assembling furniture. I also enjoy creative hobbies such as making metal or beaded jewelry, crocheting, and working with clay.
For my university internship, I worked with a non-profit organization focused on social and urban regeneration, where I gained experience in gardening and woodworking. Although I don’t have technical expertise in these areas, I am very passionate about them and always eager to take on new challenges.
In high school, I studied languages. I have a good command of Spanish and, of course, Italian (my native language), and I can also get by in French and English. I would like to improve my English skills, which is why I am primarily looking for opportunities in the UK. I am also very open to language exchanges.
Another one of my interests is pastry making. As a child, I dreamed of becoming a pastry chef (and to be honest, I haven’t completely given up on that dream yet), so I love baking and cooking in general.
And finally, I love taking care of animals—I have a two-year-old kitten at home.
ALICE:
I’m a pretty versatile person, always developing new interests and trying to explore them all.
I love music and have been playing the drums for over a year. I also enjoy spending time in nature and have a passion for insects—especially caterpillars, moths, and butterflies—which I collect from my garden and raise. I’ve always loved animals and grew up surrounded by cats; right now, I have four.
Creativity is a big part of my life, and I love hands-on activities like crocheting, sewing, and beading necklaces. I also have a strong interest in design, particularly graphic design.
I love listening to people talk about their hobbies and learning new things from others, and I’d be happy to share what I know in return. :)
Age
23 & 23
What else ...
FRANCESCA:
I love all DIY activities, coffee, beach walks, or walks in nature in general and animals.
I’m not very good at sports, so if you’re looking for someone to teach your kids a sport, I might not be the right person for the job :) But I do enjoy challenging myself and would have fun learning with them (and I’d probably make you laugh too).
However, I have practiced dance for over 15 years (which is why I’m not great at other sports), so I’d be perfect for a ballet class or a fun musical evening.
ALICE:
If you're looking for someone to go to concerts or jam sessions with, count me in!
When I was younger, I basically tried every sport under the sun—swimming, horse riding, tennis, artistic gymnastics... you name it. I even played volleyball for many years, but I definitely wasn’t good at it. Right now, I’ve been practicing pole dancing for four years.
Sometimes I get energy rushes, and during those moments you’ll probably find me cartwheeling or climbing something just for fun!
