Our next destination:
Melbourne, Australia - from Oct 2024 View allDescription
Hi! We are Marie and Alexandre. We are 25 and 24 :) We have been together for four years and we are both from Belgium.
We are absolutely passionate about traveling, discovering new ways of life and sharing with people. We also love learning and practicing languages! That's why we both chose to study languages and literature at university in Belgium.
We both have experience working with children. We really love sharing with them.
We also love spending time in nature, going for a run, working out, hiking as well as playing board games. We are open-minded and love learning from others.
Marie:
I got the chance to live unforgettable experiences abroad while practicing English and Spanish and while sharing with wonderful human beings. I also had the opportunity to volunteer and contribute to humanitarian projects.
Dancing makes me the happiest! I couldn't live without music!
I am an enthusiastic and smiling person. It is often said of me that I am organized and easy going. There's a 100% chance I'll be happy to talk to you :)
Alexandre:
I speak French, English and Dutch. I just love everything that is related to languages. I love learning new things and being able to contribute to a better environment. In Belgium, I studied pedagogy in order to become a teacher. Therefore, I am quite at ease with children/teenagers.
I also reaaaaaally love cats :) (even have one young at home as well as 3 chickens!!)
I would describe myself as a peaceful, calm and generous person ready to help whenever I can.
We hope to share a little of our journey with you!Interests

More details about your skills
Marie: I've had various experiences of language practice, whether English or Spanish. I've been a dance teacher for 7 years. In addition, I was responsible for organizing a show in my faculty at university. I am a creative and artistic person.
As part of the volunteer projects I've taken part in, I've done some basic construction work and I've taken care of children.
Several student jobs gave me experience in sales and customer information.
I finished one year ago a master degree in population and developement sciences. I also have a bachelor's degree in languages and literature (English and Spanish).
Alex: I've also had several language related experiences (Dutch, English, Spanish) but I consider myself only proficient in the first two languages!
I've had several student jobs teaching me how to welcome people, communicate with customers, be responsible of the funds of the company. Additionally, I've been working for a cleaning company training me to clean houses, factories (floor, dust, windows).
Lastly, I finished recently a master degree in pedagogy of Dutch and English.Age
