Jessica (and Roberto) are a couple you will want to have around. They've already traveled half the world and I learned a lot with them. I am an enthusiast of conversations about travel and cultures and Jessica and Roberto are the most experienced travelers who have ever stayed with me. Regarding the tasks, they did a great job taking photos of my B&B and office to use in social media. Also... they speak italian which is a super plus to me! :) Worldpackers' mission has been accomplished.

The experience at the host has been amazing. The city is wonderful and Pedro is very nice and kind. It was a pleasure to meet him and have nice talks together. It was low season so there wasn't so much work to do, we helped him with pictures for its the host and b&b, and we had a lot of free time to enjoy the city and the surrounding area. Really recommend this experience to everyone, you will love the place and Pedro! :)

This volunteering experience has been one of the best I've ever had. I had the opportunity to meet a lot of Koreans, learn more about their culture, and the hours at the guest house passed really quickly. The apartment is very small and Daejeon is not the best city in Korea, but I'll never forget my time hanging out with the students and Russel is one of the kindest persons I've ever met. He has a big heart and he cares a lot about leaving a beautiful memory to you. I appreciated it! I'll never forget my experience in Language Studio! :)

Experience in New Zealand

Kitchen Hand, Building & Repairing, Farming, and Gardening

Colleen and I would definitely recommend Jessica to all other hosts. She was a happy, smiling, contented person who was willing to either undertake, learn or adapt to all tasks asked of her. She and Roberto communicated with us easily and naturally and we had many long, interesting and intriguing discussions and debates on all sorts of different subjects and thoughts. Jessica helped with food preparation, weeding, gardening, tomato plant pollination, mulching and water blasting. She and Roberto are welcome back anytime at all - either as World packers or just as visiting friends.

I really enjoyed my time at their place. Their house is very nice and the room was super cosy, and Coleen cooks really delicious meals! I enjoyed talking with the family the home told us a lot of interesting and funny stories. They are very precise with the hours of work, they were exactly 4 per day, with weekend as 2 days off. But they are flexible and they changed the day off if you need it, like they did with us. We learnt a lot about gardening and that was so important for us. We also played petanque with the home he's a champion! I highly recommend this experience to everyone!

About me as an author

Jessy Around The World

an Italian full time traveler. After years planning my full time travel, I finally quit my 9 to 5 job to start exploring the world with a one way ticket. My goal is to visit as many countries as I can and to work as a digital nomad while I am traveling, but also to challenge myself doing travel jobs in the places I visit. I really want to live a lot of different experiences in a way only a real traveler can do.

Background

Education

I studied foreign languages and literatures at the University of Florence, Italy. In addition to my native language, Italian, I speak English and Spanish very well, and I have some basic knowledge of Russian, French and Swedish.

Work experience

I work with social medias because I have a blog, a YouTube channel and my social pages on Facebook and Instagram, in which I talk about my travels and I show my trips photos.
I am currently an online language teacher (English and Italian).
I am good with the computer in general, regarding social medias. I have experience in teaching languages because I've been a tutor for a lot of people who needed help in learning. I also taught English in South Korea for a while.
I am a beginner digital nomad in translation, Web writing and copywriting field.
I have experience in housekeeping, front of house and reception in restaurants, hostels and hotels, these are usually the jobs I do abroad during my full time travel, I did this job in several countries all around the world.
I'm always open to new kind of works and experiences. I'm curious and never afraid.

Travel experience

Travelling is my passion. I did a lot of travels and trips all around Europe, I backpacked all Central America and a bit of South America.
After living in New Zealand for almost one year, I had a 3 months trip to Asia.
I am currently traveling around the United States and then I'm gonna move to Australia to live and work for 1 year.
I travel with my husband and we love to explore cultures, food and places so different from our hometown. We like everything: cities, beaches, sea, mountains, cultural trips.
