I managed my family property restaurant situated in a touristic village by the sea for two summer seasons in a row. First year I used to manage the activity with my older sister and the second one on my own.

Thanks to my parents I could take this big opportunity and I learnt so much from it, especially about leadership and responsibility.

I travelled to New Zealand, an amazing and very green country, to improve my english and to have an experience abroad after the high school graduation.

I stayed for six months applying a working-holiday Visa so I could visit the Island all around and work in different farms, meeting continuosly new people and some lovely families.
