Description
Hi there! My name is Chelsea and I currently live between Toronto and New York. I recently left my corporate job of 13 years to take a career break and pursue more meaningful life experiences. My hope as a Workawayer is to connect with people around the world and learn about new and different perspectives about life and living. I've always loved traveling and while nice vacations are fun, I also love the idea of more meaningful and slow travel. I'm a pretty easy-going gal (I've been told I bring good energy) and enjoy genuine human connections so I'm excited to embark on this new adventure as a Workawayer.
As part of my career break, other than becoming a Workawayer, I'm also taking a Pilates certification course in Marrakesh and doing a dance immersion in Medellin to improve in salsa and pick up new social dances.
In my past corporate life, I was a brand marketer for a Fortune 500 company. Work that I found the most fulfilling was work around sustainable agriculture and social justice. However, this type of work is limited in the corporate world, so I'm hoping to learn and make impact in the real world through these Workaway experiences. I'm happy to exchange my marketing and strategy expertise as needed!
In my personal life, I've moved around / travelled quite a bit. I was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to Canada when I was 8. I lived in Vancouver and eventually settled in Toronto. When I was in University, I did a semester exchange in Toulouse, France and was able to travel Europe extensively during that time. I'm fluent in English and Cantonese, and had pretty intermediate understanding of French and Spanish at one point in time (it's hard when you don't have the opportunity to practice!), so would love any language exchanges as part of the experience.
My dream one day is to build something that can drive positive impact on the world (vague, I know). I don't know what it is yet, but I'm hoping my experiences of connecting with different people around the world can help inspire my journey.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I have a marketing background so I can help if there are any marketing needs (ie. brand strategy, business operations, content creation, copywriting, etc).
I will have the beginnings of Pilates certification so can also do an exchange with Pilates classes.
I have a dog at home, so can help with taking care of any dogs and animals (with the exception of cats as I'm allergic).
I have basic cooking and baking skills so can help where that's needed.
Willing to lean in and learn where you need me!
I have basic gardening skills (I guess I should be thanking my mom for all the years she made me help with the garden), so can help where that's needed.
