My next destination:
Italy View allDescription
Hi!! :) I am Manuela Verdejo and I’m 25 years old. I’m a medicine student at the Universidad de Valparaiso, Chile.
I’m Chilean-Dutch and have experience living in different countries: I lived 4 years in the Netherlands and I did a school exchange in Germany. I can speak Spanish, English, German and Dutch... and learnt Italian while doing a workaway there!
I love the experience of living in another country, to learn about a different culture while helping a family, with for example babysitting! I have an 19 year old and a 3 year old brother, so I have experience with children.
I had an amazing experience in Italy as an au pair (3 months), in Switzerland (1 month) and in the Netherlands (2 months). I have done workaways in France, Sicily, Poland, Sweden, Spain and Germany too!
I like studying medicine, but it is very demanding, that’s why I decided to take a break to do other things like traveling, getting to know people from different cultures, making friends and learning a new language (or improving the ones I already know)!

What else ...
I´m an active person, I love to run, go every day for a walk and like hiking, cycling.. I want to learn new things, now I would love to learn how to ski!!
I like to cook, specially sweet things, and I would love to learn how to make dishes from other countries.
I think the beach is one of my favorite places. To do long walks by the sea, watching the sunset... But after being in beautiful places in Switzerland, I started to love the mountains and the snow :)
I am passionate about languages, I started to learn Italian and I love it! I want to improve my Dutch, German and English as well.
I'm always ready for a new adventure!! :)Some more information

I’m only sorry that Manuela left early, giving only two days notice before her departure and leaving me in quite a predicament.

Bari is a nice city in the south of Italy, but too quiet during the winter. There is amazing food to try like “orechiette”, burrata, focaccia and beautiful towns to visit like Matera, Polignano a Mare and Alberobello (but everything was closed because of the season).

She is an independent joyful girl.
She played with the children and was very helpful at home, learning fast all schedules and rules.
We wish to see her soon again! ❣️
Elle m’a aidé pour le ménage, les courses, la cuisine et les devoirs de mon fils
Tout s est bien passé. Je la remercie d être venue et lui souhaite bonne chance pour ses études

Sie spricht perfekt deutsch und ist eine herzliche und achtsame junge Frau. Sie ist arbeitet sorgfältig und gewissenhaft und ist stets gut gelaunt. Wir vermissen sie sehr.
