Description
Hi ! we are Quentin and Auberi (35 and 30 years old) and we come from Toulouse, France. We are currently travelling in Asia and we would like to find a project in which we fully invest. We are looking for a new adventure !
To talk a little about ourselves, when we are not traveling, Quentin works as a logistician in the field of national solidarity to fight poverty. He participates in the logistics organization and inventory management within an organization which recovers non-food products to redistribute them to people who are isolated, encountering extreme difficulty. The objective of the organization : everyone must be able to live with dignity in a supportive society.
Auberi works in international cooperation, she helps French local collectivities and international solidarity associations in building their project and finding funds.
Before we met, we each traveled alone and now we want to travel and be useful together. We want to discover different cultures and to meet people from other countries. It's always a pleasure for us to share discussion and learn about the culture and the life of the hosts.
To talk about our experience as a volunteer : we like to work in hotel and hostel. We are very motived and we are not afraid of outdoor work and housework. We are used to wake up early and used to do cleaning work. We like working with children and we like sociolazing with the guests and help them as much as we can to make their stay enjoyable.
