Description
Hi there!
We are Fabienne and Philipp a young couple from Switzerland, 35 & 33 years old.
After some years of studying, I (Fabienne) attained my Masters in Psychology and Philipp plans to change career direction. Before we start our new chapter at home in Switzerland, we wanted to fulfill our dream that we have been putting off for far too long: To live and work abroad for an extended period of time! We want to travel to countries, get to know their people, culture and nature, and we want to live an everyday life that is different from the one at home. We are happy to help with smaller or larger projects with the skills we bring with us and are very open to learning new things.
For travelling, instead of rushing from one attraction to the next, we prefer to stay in one place, getting to know the people and experiencing the vibe of a location.
Fabienne:
I am a very friendly and outgoing person. I love spending time with friends and family, doing sports such as fitness or running and I am always up for a walk or a hike. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. I'd describe myself as a hands-on personality, very outgoing, interested, and reliable. I appreciate the opportunity to meet people in different life situations and share new experiences with them.
Regarding my professional background, I hold a Master's degree in Psychology and have experience working with challenging patients. Besides that I am experienced in food catering and sales. Cooking and household management come naturally to me, and I am willing to take on responsibilities wherever needed.
Philipp:
I'd describe myself as warm-hearted, humorous, and reliable. I like to be active and spend time outside.. Whether it's hiking, walking (with or without dogs), climbing or engaging in other sports. Despite activities I also enjoy calm and peaceful moments, for example in an hammock with a book.
In terms of education and professional background, I hold a Master's degree in Business Administration with a focus on Corporate and Business development. Over the past eight years, I've gained valuable experience in the field of controlling and finance. Alongside my studies, I've held various jobs ranging from warehouse work to roles in the hospitality industry and teaching. I look forward to new practical experiences, especially in different cultural contexts.
We are looking forward hearing from you!
Cheers,
Fabienne & Philipp

What else ...
It is important to us that, in addition to the time we spend helping and working, we have time to discover the country (weekend trips, etc.). Furthermore we are very excited spending time and connecting with new people. However, we also appreciate our privacy as a couple, so that we have a safe haven - especially since we will be travelling for a longer period.
