Description

Hello! I’m Victor, born and raised in Italy in a small town close to Venice but with also roots in the United States of America.

I grew up bilingual: my mother tongue is Italian, but I speak English fluently!

I’m someone who enjoys a slow-paced life. I love being around people, animals, children, and the idea of traveling it's so exciting! mostly to get to know about their different cultures.

I consider myself as an empathetic person who likes calm, peaceful environments, but also enjoys moments full of fun and laughter!
Balancing the two, is important for me since I love both quiet time and being around energetic people :)

I have different hobbies: music in every aspect, spending time with the family, going for walks, drawing, reading, gardening.. overall, I like easygoing and meaningful days!

I cannot wait to connect with openminded hosts and travelers to share great moments, grow through new experiences together and create beautiful memories!

More details about your skills

Personal Skills:
I’m an independent person. Traveling has taught me how to organize my own trips and manage my time well. I can cook for myself, I learn quickly, and I apply what I learn right away. I’m self-aware, I enjoy working with others, and I have an open mindset.

Help Around the House:
Keeping spaces clean and organized is my go-to whether it’s vacuuming, mopping, wiping surfaces, dusting, cleaning windows ecc ecc
I believe that an organized environment means less stress!

Cooking Meals:
It’s a pleasure for me to cook, especially Italian dishes. I’m most comfortable preparing meals for up to 3 people, but I’d love to learn new recipes and share mine too. And when I’m not the one cooking, I really enjoy assisting and setting the table nicely, helping with prep, and making the experience enjoyable for everyone.

Gardening:
I’ve learned to recognize edible plants to harvest them properly without mistaking them for weeds. I know how to remove snails from the garden, sow and plant carefully, use tools properly, mulch, harvest fruits and vegetables, and help prepare the soil.

Childcare:
I have experience supervising children, playing with them, and keeping them entertained. I’m someone who understands kids and helps them feel listened to and supported. I don’t have much experience with hygiene routines yet, but I’m always open and willing to learn. I usually bond with them very quickly, and I love creating a safe, fun, and expressive environment for them.

Languages:
As mentioned in my profile, I grew up practically bilingual: I speak both Italian and English fluently. I also speak some French and Spanish, and I’m currently learning German (including Swiss German). I actually find learning new languages super exciting, and I’m always happy to teach what I know and learn new expressions and ways of communicating.

Drawing/Painting Assistance:
In my free time, I enjoy drawing and making small art projects like picture frames, often while listening to music. I also like experimenting with new drawing styles. As for painting assistance, I’ve helped paint around the house.. I’m not a professional, but I’m happy to lend a hand!

Social Media:
I’m open to any kind of task related to social media. I enjoy taking photos, helping promote products, and giving feedback on how things can be improved visually or conceptually to better present them. I also like filming and about editing, I’m open to learn more!

Pet Sitting:
I love feeding animals and giving them lots of affection. I don’t have much experience with larger farm animals, but I’m comfortable with smaller pets and definitely want to learn more! Ps: I’d love to get closer to the world of horses!

Welcoming Guests:
I also have experience working with customers: I always try to be respectful and make every interaction as simple and pleasant as possible. I’m very patient and tend to stay calm even in stressful situations. I naturally connect with people, listen to their needs, and do my best to understand any doubts or requests.

Recent Skills Acquired:
I'm currently on a farm where I'm learning how to make hay, clean animal stables and feeding them and I've also learnt to lead the animals during their move to the alpine pasture. In another recent experience, I learned how to use an electric scraper to remove sticky adhesive from a floor and how to make DIY soaps! I can't wait to add things on the list!
