Description

Hello : )
I'm Letizia.
After many years living in big cities and working in steady jobs, I decided to live an easier life, work remotely, contribute to the society and individuals, while have fun travelling. My main goal is not just visiting places, but feeling like I am a local and diving deep in the lifestyle and culture.
My father is a farmer, I grew up with farm animals, climbing trees to get my fruits, looking after vegetable gardens and eating carrots (favourite vegetable!) raw and fresh from the ground. Once I grew up, for a long time I took contact with nature for granted, but in 2017, after 5 years of a busy London life, I was missing it terribly and started housesitting in the countryside of England, looking after gardens and going for walks on forests and lakes almost every weekend.
Since 2018 I have been housesitting almost full time, this is my profile for reference: https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitters/united-kingdom/england/london/l/503705/, I have only received 5-star reviews so far. I normally choose housesits where gardening is required, as it is one of my passions, apart from, of course, pet care, which I love dearly.
Recently I've been taking some online courses on Permaculture, Biodynamic and organic gardening. In 2020 I did a workaway (word of mouth, not via this website) at a permaculture farm and really enjoyed it, so I decided to give this website a try. So far, I had one experience, which I really enjoyed!
I've recently worked as a gardener at a Marvel movie production for two weeks.
I also have experience managing meditation retreats (Vipassana), and it would be fun to work at meditation, yoga, mindfulness retreats. I can handle requests, clean, cook healthy meals and help to assure the environment is quiet, peaceful and safe.
Recently, I have signed up for a training to lead creative children groups and have been most keen on being around children, doing fun and creative activities with them, help with conscious education and have fun.
I work remotely as a Psychotherapist, Art Therapist and Creative coach, so some flexibility would be required to facilitate my sessions, but I only work about 8-12hs a week. I sometimes take on translation jobs, which would require longer hours, but I normally balance this o,*ut9quitewell. This is a link to my Linkedin Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/letizia-scorpioni-b1406860
My hobbies are yoga, live music, conscious breathing, hiking, swimming, painting, and writing. I've taken some surf lessons and would like to continue practising when possible.
