Persönliche Einführung

Dear possible host family, my name is Simona (but I would prefer to be called Sissi) and I am an 18-year-old Italian girl who loves to make children feel safe and cared about, to make them laugh while they're crying and to teach them to live life at the fullest from a very young age. I have been trying to do this with my 10 y.o. and 5 y.o. cousins since forever, and I love them to death, but it's time for me to change air. I am a traveller, the "give me a ticket and a backpack and you won't see me for months" kind of traveller. I am a learner, I enjoy knowing things, just as much as learning them, always in an amusing way though. I like to tell myself that I am quite good at cooking (and at baking!). I am adventurous, kind, sarcastic, and the greatest dreamer ever known to mankind. I am currently studying to become a literary translator, so I am learning English (trying to reach a C2) and French by myself. Languages and cultures are my favorite things to learn of. I am a reader, some would say "bookworm", but who are they to judge? ... Okay, jokes aside, it is a passion I would love to pass onto kids, because I believe that reading is knowing, and knowing is power. I am also very organized and very, very patient. And most of all... I want a change. I want to turn my life upside down, I want to see, learn and live. I want to help someone in need, I want to grow up while seeing little humans do it as well. I want to build connections, and I want to be the big sister I wish I had to another little kid that wishes what little Sissi did. And I think that's it, I hope someone will find me interesting! (Oh, and I'm a bit of a yapper, in case you didn't notice)
