A Few Questions to Joseph Callen

What motivates and inspires you?

Understanding how the world works and exploring different nations and cultures.

What are your strengths?

With having attended different schools, being at a boarding house, and my school years coming to an end, I would like to consider myself as a social individual and capable of interacting with ease, whoever the person. I am also bilingual in French and English, so one of my main strengths would be being able to learn, write, and interact in both languages.

What is the highlight of working for Go Beyond Holidays?

My highlight is being able to volunteer for a cause where one can enjoy teamwork, cooperation and the will to make the guests feel as confident as possible and have them experience new opportunities, all the while having a good laugh.

As for now, I would like to complete my coming uni studies and look forward to meeting with new people. I would aspire to travel and live and settle abroad (where exactly is unknown as of now).
