Nikita Dashchenko

"Chick of Overcross"

What do I do here?

I am the all-rounder for everything related to social media, graphics, video, SEO, and our website – and of course, for the boss's coffee. ;)

Qualification

I am currently doing my training at OVERCROSS. Thanks to my hobbies, I have already gained a lot of experience with graphics and video – which is really beneficial for my work here.

Previous Experience

I was born in Ukraine and completed music and regular school there. Directly after graduating, in the midst of the global lockdown, the war began. After a month of traveling through various European countries, I finally landed in Germany. I have been living and learning here for over three years now. My German is quite good by now – although I still can't drink as much beer in one evening as an average German. :)

My three favorite countries  

I have not yet traveled to many countries to name clear favorites. But home will always be the country of my heart, no matter how many places I discover.

What I wish for from the good fairy…

I wish that no one else has to experience what war means.

Key experiences in my life  

When you travel for a month from country to country with two suitcases, your mother, and your dog – without knowing if a home or safety awaits you somewhere – your perspective on the world changes. Maybe we should offer such a tour as an adventure trip for the brave? What do you think?)

This adventure I want to experience in the next five years

I dream of traveling Asia, especially Japan. But my greatest adventure would be a tour through my homeland once it is safe again. I want to visit the ghost town of Prypjat and explore the Carpathians.

If I'm ever unable to travel…

Then I would simply stroll with my friends over Google Maps – which we already do regularly. So I'm practically an experienced E-tourist. ;)

Hryhorii Sukhikh

What am I doing here?

I'm an IT guy and deal with everything related to IT and SEO in our company.

Qualification (REQUIRED)

Education: University degree in Computer Science from the Technical University of Košice (Slovakia).

Work: Extensive experience as a freelancer and working in the Israeli company Inango.

Previous Experience

All my conscious life I devote to programming. Since childhood, I write code, teach others to write it, and try to solve increasingly complex challenges and tasks.

My three favorite countries

Ukraine, Japan, Czech Republic

My wish to the good fairy...

Never to lose my drive and myself.

Significant events in my life

It's hard to say what was truly significant. I would say that in the last three years something extraordinary and cool has happened.

An adventure I want to experience in the next five years

In the next five years, I definitely want to visit Everest or at least its base camp. I don't want to be just another Everest tourist, but to experience and feel the life of the “mountain dwellers”.

If I couldn't travel anymore

Then I would buy armor and a huge sword and participate in Buhurt fights. Would I do that even if I could travel? Definitely! 

Fares Felhi

What am I doing here?

I am currently an intern in the IT team at Overcross, where I participate in tasks related to development and marketing.

Qualification

I am a student at the Esprit School of Engineering and I am developing my skills step by step through my studies, academic projects, and initial professional experiences.

Experience

I had the opportunity to work on several projects at Esprit and complete internships at Tunisie Telecom and Ooredoo. These experiences further strengthened my interest in the IT field.

About Me

I am passionate about computer science and artificial intelligence. I love creating, learning new things, and developing innovative projects. My goal is to build a successful career, continuously improve myself, and discover new cultures around the world.

Maya Schiessler

What am I doing here?

Currently, I am still in the training program to become an EU tour manager at Overcross.

Qualification:

I grew up on the Canary Islands and recognized early on how important it is for people to be well cared for during their vacation. As a young woman, I started a small village organic store with a friend and a few years later launched a bakery. My strength is my excellent customer service, which qualifies me as a career changer at Overcross.

Past Life:

Growing up on the Canary Island of Lanzarote, I love the quiet life here. Having run the organic store and my little bakery, with all the dear customers, was a wonderful experience.

Now that I have become a mom, I naturally spend a lot of time with my son.

My 3 favorite countries:

Besides my island, Switzerland, France, and Holland fascinate me the most. The nature in Northern Europe has a fascinating aspect that is different from here in the South.

From the good fairy, I wish for...

Peace, health, and lots of love for all of us.

Key experiences in my life:

The birth of my child was the most important moment of my life so far. Such a little being, just in my belly and now already out in the world, is a wonder of nature.

This adventure I want to experience in the next five years:

Every day is an adventure, and it is often the little things that bring the greatest joy.

What would you do if traveling was no longer an option?

I would continue to travel in my imagination and accompany people on their journeys virtually.
