Description

Hello !
We are a young couple (24 years) just graduated who decided to leave France to discover Canada for 1 year!

The aim of this trip is to learn English while discovering Canada. So we're looking for outdoor work ! For us, there's nothing better for discovering a country than living with a family there. We want to discover ways of life that are different from our own by living with open-minded, friendly families!
We arrived in Canada two months ago, so we have started to acquire a decent level of English and want to continue improving it by interacting with others.

Traveling as a volunteer is also an opportunity for us to acquire new skills, learn about Canadian culture and discover unfamiliar ways of life.

We're both very sociable and look forward to learning from the people we meet along the way. We are excited for this adventure and looking forward to it with you !

More details about your skills

We had a first experience in farms, we spent the month of January in Alberta to help on a ranch (taking care of animals, house maintenance, repairing fences and other work as needed). We have also volunteered in Vancouver at a food bank (association La boussole).

Loréna:
During my studies I worked as a waitress so I have experience in customer service.
I also volunteered for a waste sorting association. So I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty.
I'm not particularly experienced in manual labor, but I'm naturally curious and would be delighted to learn, as that's also the aim of this type of trip!
I love animals, so I'm particularly interested in volunteering for animal care!

Gabin :
I will gladly share my computer skills if needed. I've done voluntary work in a number of associations (music festival, helping the homeless, etc.).
I also have an affinity for horses (I've been riding regularly for many years) and I know a thing or two about fishing.
Open-minded, curious and motivated, I can't wait to help you with your projects!

What else ...

Loréna : One of my passions, and there's nothing more satisfying for me than discovering new trails and being amazed by the landscapes. The majestic landscapes of Canada that I've seen in pictures have truly taken my breath away, and I've been dreaming of seeing them in person since high school.

Gabin : recently graduated in computer science. But before starting work, I want adventure and to see new things. I like to talk to people and have good times. I also like aikido, not just computers. Aikido teaches me balance and to help others. I want to learn about different ways of life before I start working. I can't wait to meet great people, learn new things, and help with eco-projects.
