CIAO a TUTTI

 Hi! I’m Júlia, I’m 23 years old and I’m from Barcelona!

I’m the new volunteer in the European Voluntary Corps (ESC) programme, and I’ll be working for 6 months at Caritas in Jesi, Italy.

So… you might be wondering: who is this girl? Let me introduce myself!

As I said, I’m 23 (turning 24 in September — I’m a Virgo!). In 2024, I graduated in Social Education from the University of Barcelona.

I'm the one on the right!!

During my university years, I worked weekends as a waitress in a pizza restaurant, and later I had the chance to work with my brother in a small jewelry shop. These experiences taught me a lot — from responsibility and consistency to managing my time and earning my own money.

After finishing my degree, I quickly started working as a social educator. My first experience was in social inclusion housing in Barcelona. Later on, I spent six months working in a women’s shelter and a day centre. After that, I joined Caritas (this time in Barcelona!) in a multi-purpose centre. When that contract ended, I moved on to work in a nursing home in my hometown.

And that’s a little bit about my professional journey so far… because now I’m in Italy!!! The land of pasta, wine, and pizza. 

But there’s more to me than just work!

I love finding beauty in everyday moments. I enjoy taking photos of simple things: the sky, flowers, light reflecting on buildings, the streets, people, even mailboxes… I truly believe there’s something special in the ordinary.

I also love listening to music, reading, going for walks, and discovering new places. I enjoy both the beach and the mountains! I’m quite a sociable person — I love having coffee and long, meaningful conversations with friends, but I also really value my time alone.

And if there’s one more thing about me: I’m very family-oriented, and I love spending quality time with the people I care about.

I look forward to spending this months in Italy! :) <3
