Andrea Santini

Griffith,NSW

Summary

I come from Italy, where I used to work as a tour guide in the northern part and take groups of people to different destinations. I love nature and culture, I like to work with people and enviroment.

I came to Australia (after the covid19 pause) to challenge myself in a country far from home and I hope to stay a few years at least, growing professionally and personally.
