Hello everyone, I'm Paola from Italy :)
I have a positive attitude and a bright and strong personality, but I'm also very goofy and love to play around :').
I'm studying Journalism & Communication, in the hope of becoming an editor, but really, I still need to figure it out.
I love languages and I have studied them in high school. Through some Erasmus+ youth exchanges and training courses, I've begun to feel comfortable in English. Now I'm working hard on my German, and after mastering it, I want to travel to South America to learn Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese! I also have some basic knowledge of French.
My hobbies include reading and watching movies, as well as listening to house music, rap, trap, jazz, R&B, soul, disco, salsa, and afro (mostly all blended)! I also love baking and cooking, but I have limited experience in them, so I want to challenge myself to improve.
I love to explore new cities and new environments, especially when they're surrounded by nature (like on the sea or in a forest). What's more, I go to the gym regularly, and on my rest days, I practice yoga. After an awesome trip to Greece, I discovered that I am also very into watersports and hiking, and I would love the chance to immerse myself more in these sports.
I like to step out of my comfort zone to experience as much as possible and gather any kind of knowledge. I love to feel helpful and to make a positive impact on the environment around me.Centres d’intérêt

I can teach Italian and English (even if not like a native). I want to improve my German (I'm at a level between B1/2). Also, I just started learning Spanish (Argentinean/Uruguayan) and love it! I think it would be really funny trying to speak it with a native :')Compétences et connaissances que j'aimerais partager ou apprendre

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I've worked for three months in a conference centre and holiday home in Travemünde, Germany, as a service worker, cleaning lady and in children's animation.
In service I worked both early and late shifts, setting up the food buffet, cleaning tables and the floor, as well as disassemble and re-assemble the coffee machine to clean it, washing dishes, preparing food and beverages for the next shift/day and selling soft drinks and beers/wines at the cash register (interacting in German with the guests, most of the time).
As per the cleaning, while the guests were still staying I vacuum-cleaned, mopped the floor, cleaned the bathroom, emptied the trash cans and changed towels. When I cleaned the apartments after the guests' departure I also made the beds, cleaned the kitchen and removed the dust from the furniture. I also did the laundry (towels and bed sheets) and folded it.
In children's animation, in the mornings I supervised children while they played freely with the toys offered by a small playhouse, both inside and outside (in a garden) and once a week I assisted them during a pizza-baking workshop. In the evenings my colleague and I prepared a bonfire and sticks to cook bread, prepared popcorn with a popcorn machine and set up a projector for movie night, decorated the playhouse with balloons and disco lights for a small party, and ate pizza together once a week.
I am flexible and hard-working, good at organising and planning. I have soft leadership tendencies.
I participated in a few short Erasmus+ mobility projects (which involved living, socialising, and organising activities on various topics with a group of strangers in different locations in the European Union), so I have soft skills and good interpersonal skills.
I also have experience with babysitting.Âge

Anja and Jessica (the ones in charge), all the receptionists and the fixed workers (shoutout to Andrea and Elena, they are the sweetest) welcome workawayers with open arms and, if you speak at least a basic German, they are more than happy to chat a little.
Here the work-life balance is… read more
