Travel differently,
connect globally

I'm 19 years old, a Year 2 from the University of Hong Kong (HKU), majoring in Chinese Language and Literature and minoring in French. Right now (winter 2026), I'm an exchange student at McGill University in Montréal, studying French and Psychology. I have lived in Montréal since January 2026. I hope to spend the summer in Canada or places nearby, so I can fully immerse myself in new experiences. I hope to try some cool and new things during this special time, so that's why I'm in Workaway right now. I was born and raised in Hong Kong, and I speak four languages: Cantonese (Traditional Chinese) – my mother tongue Mandarin & English – fluent, though my English gets a bit wobbly when I'm tired 😄 Français – je parle un peu ! I've been learning for six months and love practicing What drives me here: Genuine human connection. I believe the best travel moments come from small, local experiences—sitting in a tiny café, chatting with locals, understanding how people live and think beyond tourist spots. Solo traveling is my favorite way to explore because it pushes me to meet people from all backgrounds. Cultural exchange makes me truly happy. What brings me joy: Traveling – every new place is a story waiting to happen. Photography – my biggest passion. I love capturing daily views, light, and little moments. Hiking – a newer love that started in Canada. I enjoy finding local trails and being outdoors. Teaching – I work as a Cantonese teacher for primary to high school students. I'd be thrilled to teach you Cantonese! It's a lively, unique language full of slang and character. I've also worked at a local high school in Hong Kong teaching Chinese for public exams. Working with children – I did a six-month internship at HKU's Faculty of Education, running behavioral experiments with children aged 3–12, including those with SEN. I'm comfortable, patient, and genuinely enjoy playing with kids. In short: I'm curious, energetic, and responsible. I love learning from people, sharing my own culture and stories, and contributing with a smile. If you have kids, I'd be happy to help with them. If you want to have some cultural and language exchange with me, or go for a hike and take photos, or go on short trips, I would love that so much !!!

I love being out in nature and the natural world. I love animals too. This makes me sound like a Miss World contestant from the 1970s, but it's true! News to practice my French+Italian. Ecobuilds
