  • Description

    Hi everyone! 😊

    Our names are Viktor and Lena. We are 22 and 21 years old, and we are both studying to become French teachers (Viktor specializes in philosophy, and I specialize in French as a foreign language).

    After my first solo volunteering trip to Seoul nearly two years ago, we decided to explore more of the world together during our only long break of the year: the summer holidays. Our biggest dream is to travel the world and capture its beauty through our camera. We love discovering new landscapes, meeting animals, exploring cities, and embracing new perspectives on life.

    We both have a great connection with children and love creating fun and engaging activities for them. With lots of imagination, patience, and energy, we enjoy organizing games, storytelling, and interactive workshops. I (Lena) have had the chance to work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds thanks to my numerous teaching internships, including a language café I hosted in Seoul. Viktor, on the other hand, has done many internships with teenagers, which has strengthened his ability to engage with young people and create meaningful discussions.

    We are also responsible and hardworking—Viktor lives on his own, so he knows how to take care of a home, and I work in a hotel, which has taught me how to keep things clean and organized. We always give our best, whether working alone or as part of a team.

    A little note: Viktor has Crohn’s disease, but he manages it well and can work several hours without any issues. I will provide more details in a private message.

    We've been partners and best friends for more than two years, so no worries about disagreements—we are great communicators and always find common ground.

    For us, the perfect combination is traveling while helping others. We are always eager to lend a hand, whether it's through volunteering, working with children, or taking care of nature. We are particularly interested in projects related to cleaning, environmental conservation and community engagement.

    We've already traveled together to London, Paris, Nancy, and Bologna… but that’s just the beginning!

    Nice to meet you all! 🌍✈️
