Description
Hi there! I am a teacher from Canada who loves travel, mostly to meet new people. I love learning about cultures that are different from my own and I have always been interested in learning more about Asian culture. My love of learning started at a young age and has continued into adulthood. I am looking to work abroad and learn along the way. I eventually would like to teach in Asia. I hope to meet people and help get my foot in the door. I am an energetic and talkative person. I find it easy to meet people and make lasting relationships along my travels.
I am 33 years old and very active. I enjoy hiking, yoga, fitness and working out. I coach volleyball as well. I'm also very artistic and enjoy music, painting, drawing, coloring. I like working front desk reception and getting to know the people who come to the hostel.
Updated information on my friend (May 2024):
Hi, my name is Lien Nguyen. I am a Grade 4 teacher residing in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. I have a zest for life and am an avid outdoor enthusiast. I love to travel and am always seeking new experiences. I love to spend time surrounded by nature and with friends. This summer, I am excited to explore Portugal where I can work on a farm to learn about farming and sustainability. As the lead educator at my school, teaching students about gardening and environmental stewardship, my goal is to take back valuable experience and skills to impart on my students.

I am also very patient (comes with being an elementary level teacher). I am responsible and organized. English is my first language, so I am able to help customers who also speak in English. I am really open to learning!
I have three years experience teaching primary children. I have worked 7+ years in hospitality as both a server and bartender. I have experience as receptionist in the hostel. I own a laptop and I am good with computer stuff. I usually incorporate lots of technology into my classroom. I can also cook and clean. I have experience working in a hotel as a cleaning lady.
