What inspired you to work for Bosmi Bed & Language?
I really enjoyed the idea of working with tourists. I also like the idea of creating a hostel, along with an Italian school. That offers students a complete and real immersion in the language in a privileged environment.
The atmosphere is very pleasant. Every week, we have new groups, enthusiastic about experiencing the environment.
Describe a typical day at work.
Classes
I am in charge of promoting and raising awareness of the Italian School across different platforms, and of encouraging tourists who only come to visit Italy to also have an experience of living the daily life of a typical Italian.
For now, my work is more virtual, but I have also had the opportunity to interact with tourists, which is always very pleasant to do.
Why do you do what you do?
Because it is important to promote our "Immersive Experience in Italy."
We offer accommodation and Italian classes. I am responsible for presenting our product on various platforms. We want to reach more and more students so they can benefit from this great opportunity.
Thanks to God, I have the tools to achieve it. And thanks to social media, everything progresses faster so more students can benefit from our program.
What is your favorite part of your job?
I really like it when we gather with the team. Some are in Italy, others in different countries, promoting our product. It is interesting to combine different points of view and share experiences. I believe it is very enriching.
Besides enjoying it very much, I also like to connect with people from various cultures. I have always enjoyed this opportunity that my work provides me. People from so many countries visit the Hostel, and they are delighted with the hospitality we offer; they feel literally like they are at home.
What advice would you tell your pre-travel self?
Go with enthusiasm. Be organized, keep everything in order, and bring only what is essential. Documentation is very important. Go with a desire to socialize.

If you could participate on one of Bosmi Bed & Language’s programs, where would you go and what would you do?
Currently, we offer Italian courses in Sori, Genoa. So I would definitely participate there. We have created a very attractive school in a very welcoming environment. The atmosphere is motivating for students because they can share their day-to-day experiences with all the students, besides the teacher.
I would also participate, of course, in the guided tours we offer. There are nearby very pleasant cities, such as Recco, Portofino, and Santa Margarita. And with that, I would also enjoy the very famous Italian cuisine.

What questions do participants often ask you, and how do you typically respond?
They ask which are the nearest cities to visit, and the best restaurants. The tourists also enjoy having the beach just a few meters from the school.
For the cities, we are of course referring to where we are located, Sori, province of Genoa. For food, we inform them that they can buy a pizza at an affordable price, which is always good, and one of the best options. We also, of course, have more luxurious restaurants.
Why is it important for people to travel abroad and experience new cultures?
Because they are unique experiences, each trip, each reality is different. You will never stop being amazed. It enriches you greatly on every level.
You can form new friendships more easily than you would in your own country because people tend to be more open to getting to know you. Learning about new cultures is always positive. It creates a more tolerant, respectful, and empathetic human being in addition to being entertaining and unforgettable.
Why do you think learning a new language is important?
Travelling around the city
I believe that learning a new language is definitely one of the best decisions we can make. It becomes a part of us for a lifetime, very hard to forget, and it opens up many opportunities throughout our lives.
Doors open—for a new job or a new relationship. The feeling of being able to communicate easily with more people around the world is very rewarding. Learning the language while living in Italian culture is the best choice.
What advice do you have for individuals thinking about going abroad?
I would tell you that it is a very good choice and that you will not regret it. Investing in an experience outside your country and outside of your comfort zone is a great decision because it further develops your abilities. It’s all advantages. Once you make the decision, you’ll want to keep traveling because it’s so exciting, and there are always new places to explore.
Enjoy the experience fully, and my advice is to savor it and treat each day as an opportunity to learn.
What does meaningful travel mean to you?
It means traveling with intention. With a desire to learn, with complete willingness to enjoy, and to take advantage of all the knowledge that is shared to make the most of the teaching staff.
This is an experience where you can coexist daily with the teacher. In conclusion, to benefit from this experience. And not just to be a spectator of what is happening. But, as the protagonist of your own experience.
