Description

Hi there! We are Najla from Switzerland and Alessandro from Italy. We love nature, food, sports, literature, languages and good conversations. We met about four years ago and have been traveling together ever since. We have had the great pleasure to travel full-time since January 2024. Our goal is not only to grow as individuals during our travels but also to contribute whenever we can. As we both grew up with animals we love having them around. We are the happiest when we are in nature – no matter if we are hiking on a mountain or surfing in the ocean. We love to cook! There's nothing like the smell of homemade pasta sauce. Both of us used to have office jobs and were tied up to our laptops. However, we realized that there is an entire world out there to explore with interesting people, beautiful places and a plethora of different jobs/activities to get to know. We are quick learners and look forward to learn new skills and face new challenges. That is why we would love to meet you, learn from you and help you out wherever we can.

More details about your skills

**Najla**

Growing up with all sorts of pets and various jobs as a dog and cat sitter 
I got to understand a lot about animals and their characters and know how to teach and take care of them.

I did my horse riding certificate when I was 18 years old which thought me how to behave 
around horses, basic riding skills and made me fall in love with them.

I am a certified personal trainer and do sports of all kinds. I am used to lift
weights and have the endurance for physical work.

I used to tutor teenagers in Switzerland and learned to set up a homework schedule,
to deal with „teenager problems“ and to have a lot of patience.

I love to cook, and being the girlfriend of an Italian and the daughter of a Bosnian mum, I got to learn
to cook many different kinds of meals. Being a coach I know how to prepare healthy and fresh food.

As a professional copywriter and marketing specialist I know how to write copy of any kind and setup a marketing
or communication concept.

I had many different jobs in my life, from waitress to event manager to bank teller. I learned 
how to quickly adapt to new situations and gain new skills.

**Alessandro ("Ale")**

As a former account management in a big corporate, I learned how to manage diverse customer relationships, to solve complex business problems and to communicate effectively with people of all sort of backgrounds.

As a sports enthusiast, I am active and fit and enjoy physical challenges.

As the owner of two small Airbnbs in the south of Italy, I learned what it takes to renovate a flat and how to start a B&B business from scratch.

As a southern Italian, I know my ways around pasta and how to prepare tasty homemade meals.

As the owner of an old-timer Volkswagen van, travelling through Europe, I learned some basics about old cars and how to drive on different terrain (but hey, I am no mechanic alas)

As a seasoned traveller, I lived in many different countries where I learned how to adapt quickly to new situations and how to appreciate the beauty of cultural diversity.
