Alessia
Oxford, UK
It's me, hi! 👋 I am Alessia, an Italian living in Oxford since 2019. During the day I work as a Nurse in an International College and at night I am a National League volleyball player 👩‍⚕️🏐 I have been infected with the travel bug by my parents who decided to take me around Europe on their campervan for all my childhood. I had the chance to experience lots of different cultures and enjoy local food, activities and people. When I was old enough, I packed my bags and moved across the Ocean for 13 months living the American Dream as an AuPair. During those months I travelled to 22 states and checked lots of things off my bucket list. I then finally moved to the UK where I have been able to enjoy amazing campsites and road trips throughout the island. I am a happy human that always sees the positive in every situation, board games lover and a true foodie! I work as a travel coordinator and get to visit some amazing places. My dream? To see them all!!
