Beschreibung

Hi! I’m Yiwei 👋

Originally from China, I lived in the Netherlands for 12 years before taking a bold step: a one-year career break to travel, volunteer, and rediscover life beyond the corporate world.

My gap year is now halfway through, and it’s already been full of friendships, learning, and beautiful surprises. I’ve traveled through Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, the U.S. West, China, and I’m currently in Southeast Asia.

I previously volunteered on an eco farm in Colombia, which deeply inspired me and strengthened my desire to give back, connect, and grow through volunteering.

I’m an outgoing, open-minded, positive and responsible person who loves meeting new people, sharing stories, and contributing with good energy — whether on eco projects, in hospitality, or in community work.

I’m here to give, to learn, and to create meaningful exchanges along the way.
Let’s share something special 💫

Was könntest du arbeiten?

I’m excited to contribute to meaningful projects with the skills I already have, and I’m equally eager to learn and experience new things along the way. For me, volunteering is not just about helping — it’s about growing, connecting, and exchanging knowledge.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked in product management roles at major European tech companies, including Booking.com and Just Eat Takeaway.com. To put it simply: my job was to lead software engineers to build apps that solve real-world problems. I also hold a Master's degree in Marketing Management.

Through my career, I’ve developed strong skills in teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and adapting quickly to new environments. I’m a fluent English speaker, native in Chinese, and I’ve studied Spanish for around 20 hours in preparation for this trip — so I’d love the chance to practice and improve!

Personally, I’d describe myself as kind, curious, and hard-working. I’m passionate about:

- Eco projects and farm stays 🌱 — I enjoy hands-on tasks and contributing to sustainability.

- Hospitality work 🏡 — such as helping in hotels, hostels, restaurants, or cafés.

- Coffee culture ☕ — I trained at the Espresso Academy in Florence, Italy, and hold the SCA Barista Intermediate Certificate. I'd be thrilled to work as a barista and share my love for coffee with others.

Whether it’s helping on a farm, supporting a café, or simply offering a friendly hand, I’m excited to be part of projects that create good energy and make a positive impact.

Was noch ...

I love singing, and my favorite artist is Adele — her voice feels raw and honest, and I’m always deeply moved by how she sings straight from the heart. One of my go-to songs at karaoke is “Rolling in the Deep”, and I think I sing it pretty well!

A personal guiding principle I live by is:
"Use the known to embrace the unknown while staying agile."
