Description
Hello !
We are Louis and Marion, French, 25 years old. After living and working in Amsterdam for 2 years, we are now moving to Canada with the objective of traveling around the country in a van for 2 years, meeting new people, new places, having new experiences to get out of our comfort zone.
We love helping out, being and working outside, being around animals. Louis has a passion for outdoor sports, animals and cooking. Marion likes culture (literature, music, theatre), being outside and eating Louis' food.
About our experience, we have been working alongside our studies since our 15th year in different fields such as restoration, cleaning, customer service, communication, teaching, lifeguarding which gives us a lot of skills in many areas. Our strengths are our ability to adapt, to learn quickly and to be thorough.
We are native French speakers, have a good level of English and speak a little Spanish.
Thank you for considering us, and we would like to discuss further how we can work together and meet.
See you soon!

Marion - After a degree in music and theatre, I did a master in cultural project management. I then worked for 2 years as a communications and events manager in Amsterdam. Besides my studies, I was a piano teacher, I did a lot of baby sitting, I worked in catering (2 burger restaurants and a campsite snack bar), I was a campsite cleaner and I did customer service in a company. I have also been a volunteer in student associations as treasurer and vice-president (organising parties, managing a team of volunteers, budgets, etc.).
Louis - after studying international business, I worked as an export sales assistant in France and then in customer service in Amsterdam. Besides my studies, I was a lifeguard for 2 summers ( once in a lake and once in a campsite). I worked as an order picker and as a multi-skilled team member at Burger King (in the kitchen).
We would like to develop our outdoor work skills such as gardening, permaculture, maintenance, construction, etc.
