I joined the Yumping team, in the Content Writing and Customer Care department of the Italy section, in December 2023.
After a series of experiences as a freelance editor and playwright, I decided to continue my career in the world of writing by starting this new adventure in Yumping.
I currently deal with customer care, booking management and also the review and creation of the platform's contents, in reference to the Italy section.
Studies
Graduated in Communication, Media and Advertising at
IULM of Milan, I continued my studies in the field of theater and creative writing, graduating from the
Civica Scuola di Teatro Paolo Grassi during the Writing for Entertainment course.
Professional training
During my young professional experience, I worked as a freelance editor and translator for Cosmopolitan Italia and Emse Editore and as an assistant storyteller for a Milanese creative producer. At the same time I continued to work in the theatrical field, as a playwright for the Venice Biennale and the Miela Bonawentura Theater in Trieste, and as a translator/dramaturg for the Teatro Ivan pl. Zajc of Rijeka, Croatia.
Adventure sports experience
Growing up in Southern Italy, immersed in often uncontaminated nature, I had several experiences of outdoor tourism, in some destinations renowned in the Basilicata region for their uniqueness in Europe, such as the Tibetan Bridge and the Flight of the Angel. For the rest, having lived in the city for years now, first Milan and then Madrid, I take advantage of every opportunity to visit cities of art and lesser-known villages, to take part in walks or food and wine tours.
Questions to Carolina Grassi on Yumping.it
What are the three sporting activities that you should do at least once in your life?
I think everyone has their own preferences and, above all, their own limits: I, for example, suffer from vertigo. So, while I recognize the incredible adrenaline that a paragliding or hang gliding flight could give me, I prefer to think of myself dog sledding, diving and snowmobiling.
What sport or activity would you like to be an instructor for?
I would like to know how to ride a horse and then teach it to adults and, above all, to children. In that case it would be a question not only of carrying out an activity, but of offering a total experience of knowledge and empathy with the animal.
What activities do you recommend doing in your hometown?
Matera, one of the oldest cities in the world, certainly deserves a privileged view from above. So I definitely recommend hang gliding or a flight in a two-seater plane, to enjoy not only the landscape but also the company of your loved one.
