Description

We are a Swiss/Swedish couple and will start traveling end of February 2024.
We havent made up our mind yet as where we would like to go yet, but definitely somewhere warm.

We are easy going, hard working, calm, patient, reliable, trustworthy, always on time (Swiss:) and have a wide range of interests and a few skills to offer.

Last year we visited Mexico and Guatemala and have done several Workaways in different locations.

Me, Sandy has been working abroad for 15 years in places like the Maldives, Cook Island, Belize, Thailand, Egypt as a dive instructor, in the office and in the management team of a boutique resort. I have been traveling most of Asia doing photographs for resorts and guesthouses in turn for room and board.

Tor has been working in Australia, New Zealand, Maldives, Indonesia and Malaysia, Norway, Switzerland and Sweden. Mostly experience in the tourist industry. From hotels and restaurants to guiding on land and in water. Tor also has experience in more labor related work such as construction, farms, warehouses, gardening and relocation/driving.

More details about your skills

Sandy used to be a dive instructor, aerobic teacher, taught yoga classes (no certification for that though, but I gave lessons in the Maldives), started photography, self taught photoshop-er and adobe illustrator, like to create things, very much interested in art, painting and drawing (even got my own website, check it out at www.sandybroenimann.com)
I was working as an assistant resort manager for a tiny diving/fishing lodge in Belize, a dive center in the Cook Islands and the Maldives, a kite centre in Egypt and a gym in Switzerland. I can deal with all things related to admin, office work, guest relation and marketing.
I love animals and children and can take good care of them as well as gardens, plants and flowers:) basically all living creatures!
I used to run a crèche (day care center for children and babies) in a big fitness center in the middle of Zurich and worked with mentally handicapped children. I also had two dogs in my life - so I got some experience with children, babies and animals too:)

I am very interested in holistic treatments, energy work, alternative medicine, massages, Reiki and so on, do not have lots of experience with it, but would love to expand my knowledge.

Tor is very skilled if it comes to construction, gardening, cooking, finding creative solutions, learning and teaching languages. He gained lots of experience traveling and working abroad in various locations and circumstances.
