  • Description

    My name is Meg and I am from Wales. I am 23 years old and have lived in Canada for almost a year now. Over the winter, I spent my time working a ski season in a luxury hotel in Whistler.

    Before moving across the pond to Canada, I spent 3 years in University studying Criminology and Criminal Justice. Alongside my degree, I worked in the customer service sector. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in university but decided it was time for a new and exciting adventure which is why I moved to Canada.

    I love to ski, hike, swim and be surrounded by animals and nature. The past few months have been perfect to do so as my partner and I have been on a road trip across the country experiencing all that Canada’s wildlife has to offer.

    I am a very enthusiastic and open minded person who is eager to get involved with hard work.

    I have previously done a number of volunteer work, namely, renovating a school in India. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and have subsequently made friends for life! I am now looking for the opportunity to do so here in Canada.

    My name is Julia (22) and I am from Germany.I have been living in Canada for over a year now and worked and lived in Victoria and Whistler. After having a great summer on Vancouver Island as a Barista I enjoyed my first Ski Season in the mountains working in a luxury hotel.

    To fulfill my dreams here in Canada I went on a roadtrip from Nova Scotia to Alberta with my partner and enjoyed every single moment. I like seeing untouched parts of the world and I want to really dive deep to understand a place. I love the outdoors, being with animals and getting to know new people. I am a quick learner and open-minded for everything new!

    I have experiences with living and travelling abroad, as I have done exchanges, I was an exchange student in England and France and now I am here in Canada to see even more.
