In Revelstoke, BC, taking some time to settle back in before starting work in Nov. Let me know if you're in town and want to share a walk, a trip or a meal. :) I'm gonna be getting back into yoga too!

Descrição

Hi! I’m Lucia, originally from Slovakia, exploring Canada on a Working Holiday Visa to see if I could make this country my new home…I spent the summer hugged by the mountains of Revelstoke and now ready to reconnect with the coast. 🌊

UPDATE: After an amazing month exploring, I am now back in Revelstoke, where I'll be working for the winter season. I'm open to discussing exchanges from spring onwards so please do reach out if you think we'd be a good match. :)

I thrive in vibrant seaside & riverside locations rich in culture and natural beauty. I love discovering new places through local people and everyday life, soaking up the language and culture. I’ve travelled extensively and enjoy learning from others about how to live a wholesome life, create meaningful communities and beautiful relationships, and live with purpose.

I’m looking for a cultural exchange where I can be helpful, meet interesting people and experience British Columbia and the surrounding areas in their most authentic form.

🌿 What I can help with 🌿

* Housesitting, pet sitting, babysitting/childminding;
* Gardening, yard work, and general help around the home;
* Organising & keeping things tidy;
* Computers, online tools and systems;
* Managing websites, e-shops and property/travel management platforms;
* Caring for pets - dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, turtles, fish…
* Cooking & baking (they say I make a mean banana bread!)
* Looking after guests and creating a warm, friendly welcome and memorable experience
* General help with running a guesthouse, B&B, Airbnb or similar accommodation
* Language exchange

✨ My experience & skills ✨

* Spent the summer working at a motel in Revelstoke, BC, welcoming guests, handling bookings, solving problems and making people feel at home, as well as helping with laundry and improving communication flows and internal procedures;
* I’m a proud bunny mum to my sweet lop Charlie 🐰 (currently being spoilt back home by my parents). I’ve also lived with dogs and cats and pet-sat cats and turtles;
* I’ve always been hands-on around the house and garden, not afraid to get my hands dirty or help with a DIY project. I also very much enjoy arts and crafts!
* I grew up with two younger siblings and have been told I am naturally good with children, also worked as a live-in au-pair;
* 11+ years of international e-commerce experience;
* Proficient with websites, online platforms and a variety of systems and tools;
* Qualified yoga teacher & trained in craniosacral therapy;
* Speak English, Slovak, Czech & some French + un poquito de español;

❤️ Things I enjoy ❤️

* Animals, the sea and lush forests;
* Yoga (vinyasa, acro, yin), aerial hammock, wellness & holistic healing;
* Dancing (salsa, bachata, heels, ecstatic), swimming, cycling & hiking;
* Food, cooking & baking for my friends and family and inventing new little twists on recipes;
* Being creative, crafting, taking pictures;
* Spending time with children and being in awe with their amazing minds and personalities;
* Music, galleries, theatre, photography;
* Learning about cultures and languages;
* Psychology and the body-mind connection;
* Meeting people from different backgrounds, learning from them & discovering new places and experiences!

I’m reliable, tidy, conscientious and independent, while also sociable and curious. Happy to share a meal, a conversation, a walk or an experience. I’d love to find an exchange where I can genuinely contribute, learn and make a difference, while also having some time to explore the surroundings and get to know the local community.
