Description

Hi there!
My name is Elodie, I'm 26 and I'm from Switzerland 🇨🇭. I grew up close to nature, in a small region called La Vallée de Joux, offering endless opportunities for outdoor adventures in both summer and winter. My parents took my brother and me on a few adventures at a young age, such as cycling across France and around Switzerland, kayaking around lakes and hiking treks. As well as being extraordinary trips, they helped me to adapt to different situations and environments.

As for my training and professional experience, I did an apprenticeship in commerce, followed by a bachelor's degree in business management and sustainable development. I decided to do this bachelor's degree because I felt that something was missing from my initial training and I really wanted to make a positive contribution through my work and therefore my time on this planet :)

Last year, I left my home country to do an internship in Montreal, Canada (which I fell in love with after a few months' trip to Vancouver) to work in sustainable development and business development (marketing) for a small local company. The relationship went so well that we agreed that I would work remotely for the company. So now I'm a digital nomad! I set up my own company in Switzerland to work as an entrepreneur and allow me to travel the world at the same time! The time I'm giving myself for this project is pretty limited, though, and won't in any way come through the work I'd be doing on a workaway project.

The idea I have for the next few months is to travel to different countries, mainly in Asia and Oceania, to discover new things, meet new people and use my skills to help others. I am more than willing to help with whatever is needed with the skills I can provide. Of course, I'm also eager to learn new skills and discover other ways of life. Another reason why I decided to do embark on this trip, is to get inspiration for my own life and perhaps it will be a way of broadening my horizons in every possible way.

By nature, I'm a calm person, sometimes a bit reserved at first, positive and optimistic and I love adventure!

If you have any other questions about me, I'd be more than happy to answer 😊
