I`m Elisa, 29 years old and from Germany. At the beginning of October I came to Vancouver to start my work and holiday year.
In Germany I used to work as a leading Events Coordinator for 9 years - so I'm used to supervise my own team, work reliable and independently. I had to work for long shifts and in stressful situations, so I'm resilient. And handling with teams, service providers and huge budgets made me responsible. On site I had to work for and more with guests, that is why I've got a well good understanding of guest management.
In my spare time I used to do handicrafts - I love to build up things with my own hands.
I grow up at the countryside with gardening and I had a dog (Border Collie) for a few years.
After working at the office for years I'd like to work with animals, outdoors or to do some hands-on-stuff.
That's why I'm in Canada and I'm looking forward to hearing from you :)
