Today’s feature is on Jojo. Jojo is full of energy, passion for the ocean, and is the leader of jetty time- she is always grabbing a group of people to head out to the jetty with some beers each night for the sunset.
Name: Jojo
Home Country: Switzerland
Favorite 3 Places in the World: Indonesia, Laos, Sri Lanka
Best Know at TRACC For: “Ooh La La” (her catchphrase)
Journey to TRACC: I discovered scuba three years ago and wanted to become a dive master, but not just to guide tourists, rather to preserve oceans. After my previous job working for profit at Swiss Airlines I got sick of it and wanted to do my part in the world. My brother Sebas told me about this place and it seemed like the perfect center to go to after my eco dive master internship just to have some conservation work on my resume.
Worst Job You’ve Done to Afford Travel: Working in Switzerland you really have a lot of opportunity and are paid well so I can’t complain, but working for the airline was tough just to see so much profit not going to the right people or causes.
What’s Next? I’m going to travel for a bit once I leave here in May after finishing the A-Level course, then I’m going to go back home to Switzerland to try and find a job where I feel useful to a cause and to the planet. I don’t see myself taking another job working for profit.
