My name is Alba Banchi, I'm 26 and I'm an Italian journalist. I currently write for Corriere della Sera, La Gazzetta dello Sport, and Il Messaggero, three major newspapers in my country, and for nearly four years I have specialized in the automotive landscape, both motorsport and everything related to the Italian and European car market. I’m reaching out because I am looking for job opportunities outside Italy and finally leverage my language skill (I speak fluent spanish, italian and english, and if you give me a few months I can get my french back as well) The automotive industry is a field in which I have built solid experience and that I now feel I have explored thoroughly. Although motors have been my specialty and remain a great passion of mine, I have always been fascinated by the world of science documentaries, from close-up studies of animal species to in-depth explorations of physics and the universe, topics I have followed and studied independently for a long time. I also spend a lot of time in nature, I am a scuba diver, and I grew up around animals, especially horses. I have traveled all my life and, thanks to my language skills, doing so comes naturally to me. I am ready to embark on a new writing journey.
