    Travelling

  • Description

    Hi!

    I'm an outgoing Swede, born in Sweden and raised in the French-speaking region of Switzerland with a passion for exploring the world.

    Over the past two years, I’ve worked various jobs while traveling through different countries, all in search of what brings me purpose and fulfillment. The thought of living an unfulfilled life is probably what scares me the most. Through my experiences, I've also discovered that volunteering not only deepens my connection to the cultures I visit, but also allows me to give back in appreciation for the incredible opportunities these countries kindly offer me.

    I love being outdoors and learning new things, which is probably why I can’t get enough of traveling. Every trip leaves me with new perspectives, and I always come back a little different than when I left.

  • More details about your skills

    While working at a Subway franchise, I acquired plenty of valuable skills. From managing difficult customers, maintaining cleanliness within the restaurant, and mastering efficiency under pressure, my time at Subway has provided me with plenty of firsthand experience and personal growth. I've also learned a lot about discipline and good work ethic from jobs in the Swiss vineyards, working from sunrise to sunset.

    Beyond my work experience, here are some additional skills that I've acquired over the years:

    -I'm very social and get along with all type of people very quickly. I've developed good leadership skills by being a part time coach at my local rowing club and by working as an english teacher.

    -Drawing from my background as a former U19 rower for the Swiss National Team, I possess considerable strength and can handle physically demanding tasks with ease. I'm very disciplined and hardworking, when you want a task due at a certain time you can count on me!

    -I have a passion for filmmaking, which I've cultivated through creating small update videos during my travels for my family and friends. I'm quite creative and good at finding out of the box solutions.

    -I'm very adaptable, and don't have any issues integrating myself to the customs of a new family or culture.
