Description
Hi, I'm Alina.
I've always had a deep passion for traveling and discovering the world. My dream has always been to explore different cultures, meet people from all walks of life, and immerse myself in the beauty and diversity of our planet. I don’t have a fixed route in mind; instead, I want to embrace the journey as it unfolds, taking each destination as it comes. This spontaneous approach reflects my love for adventure and my eagerness to try new things.
As I travel, I’m also looking forward to gaining new work experiences that challenge me and allow me to grow. I believe that work can be both fulfilling and fun, and I'm always open to learning something new. My background is in orthopedic shoemaking, having completed an apprenticeship in Switzerland. This has given me the opportunity to help people by creating custom solutions for their needs, something I find incredibly rewarding.
When I was 16, I had the amazing opportunity to live in Canada for a year with a host family while attending school. This experience was life-changing for me. I was able to fully immerse myself in a new culture, make lifelong friends, and become part of a new family. It taught me the value of adaptability and opened my eyes to the richness that comes from stepping outside of my comfort zone.
Traveling and learning from different cultures has shaped who I am today, and I’m excited to continue this journey, seeing where it takes me next.

More details about your skills
I completed an apprenticeship as an orthopedic shoemaker in Switzerland, where I developed a passion for helping people through my work. Designing and crafting custom footwear to improve the comfort and mobility of my clients has been incredibly fulfilling. This experience taught me the importance of attention to detail, precision, and empathy in meeting the unique needs of each individual.
In addition to my work in orthopedics, I have also gained valuable experience in the gastronomy industry. I’ve worked in various roles, including as a bartender, where I honed my skills in customer service and learned to thrive in fast-paced environments. Working in hospitality has given me a deep appreciation for the art of creating memorable experiences, whether it's through crafting the perfect cocktail or ensuring guests feel welcomed and cared for.

What else ...
In my free time, I’m passionate about staying active, and one of my favorite ways to do that is through CrossFit. I love the challenge it offers and the way it pushes me to improve both physically and mentally. Whenever I have the time, I enjoy working out, as it helps me stay focused, energized, and ready for whatever comes my way.
Beyond fitness, I have a deep love for trying new foods and exploring different cuisines. I believe that food is a gateway to understanding different cultures, and I’m always excited to taste something new and discover unique flavors. Whether I’m traveling or at home, I’m constantly on the lookout for new culinary experiences, and I love sharing these moments with others.
This love for exploration extends beyond food. I’m always eager to see new places, meet new people.
