  • Description

    Hi,

    Me (Xavier) and my girlfriend Renée are planning to travel for a year or more around Europe to explore, make new connections, learn/explore new skills and MOST importantly make great MEMORIES.
    I'm a certified physical therapist in Canada and Renée has a Masters in political science & international relations, and has done some teaching in French/English.
    We're both super open minded, have a great positive energy and are eager to learn new things/skills.
    We love outdoorsy and introspective experiences : hikes, yoga, meditation, surf, ski ; we love animals ; we love cooking/having fun discussions and we also love to party/dance.
    We're both little Chameleons : we can adapt easily to any kind of situation and person, we love to get to know people and have great social skills.

    We want to begin our workaway adventure to learn new skills, do new kinds of experiences while travelling and having a positive impact on the different places we visit.

  • More details about your skills

    I(Xavier) have been a certified physio for 5 years in Canada so I've got special skills to help people recover from physical injuries. I also have expertise and can teach you a thing or two about human anatomy /biology.
    Also I'm pretty versatile in a lot of different ways : I have common basic handywear skills : reparing stuff, gardenning and other. I can cook pretty good meals, I've done some mixology basic classes so I can bartend pretty well, I've worked in my youth in constructions sites so I can do heavy manual labor, I love animals so I can take care of them easily.
    Since I'm the oldest of 6 siblings, I'm also pretty good with kids : I can teach them a few things, play sports or board games with them.
    I also have pretty good people skills since I'm a physio, so I can easily do any kind of work needing human interaction.

    For me-Renée-, I have always been a big lover of animals. From big to small, reptiles, birds, farm animals, I love them all. I have spent my entire life with one or two labradors at a time and have also done dog sitting. From my love for animals come my vegetarianism. I have worked at summer camps and then as a teacher, so am also very good and patient with kids. I'm also a great plant-mom!
    I studied political science and environmental sustainability and am passionate about environmental justice as well as social justice issues.
    I love having music in the background and emitting positive vibes. I am quiet but outgoing and am always up for a challenge.
