Beschreibung
Made in China, formed in France and tailored in Germany, I have been living in Europe for 9 years and currently based in Heidelberg. I consider myself as an adventurer and scientist because exploring the world and doing research are the essentials of my life.

I recently defended my PhD in cancer biology. Planning to travel for 6 month (from July 2023 on) before starting the Postdoc training.

Spending all my holidays in the nature, hiking, climbing, mountaineering... mainly in the Alps but sometimes go to Morocco and Norway for some landscape change ;). In my routine I jog, swim, boulder and rock climb weekly-basis.

I love traveling and culture exchange. Having travelled to more than 20 countries, I also lived in China, France, Germany, Japan, USA and Croatia (>1 month). This is the first time for me to travel to Scandinavian countries and I would like to learn more about Scandinavian culture and languages as well. Leaning languages is one of my hobbies - I’m bilingual in Chinese and French, fluent in English and speak basic German and Japanese. Also learnt a bit Croatian during my last workaway. Would love to learn more new cultures and languages!

I’m an open-minded, easygoing and tidy person. Living in a shared apartment with different nationalities for more than 10 years, I can get along very well with various types of people and I have a decent cooking skill. I’m not picky with food and basically eat everything.

As an animal lover, I indistictively love all the creatures and always get along with them very well, as you could see in some of my profiles pictures how happy I am with animals (and I love dogs, horses and sheeps!!). I grew up with my grandparents who had a little farm with chickens and ducks. I used to be in charge of feeding them during my summer/winter holidays so I think with my limited farming knowledge I could at least help with feeding animals. I also love dogs - I do not have my own cause I’m always moving around but I voluntarily help my friends to take care of theirs very often when they are traveling.

I have quite a few volunteering experience in hostel/guesthouse in different countries: Japan (2 months), US (1 month) and Croatia (1 month). I was mainly helping with general housekeeping and maintenance of the hostel. Especially in Japan, the standard was so high that I learnt lots of cleaning skills there.

I am also an amateur photographer. Here is my instagram account if you want to check out my photos: https://www.instagram.com/tuyu_dodo/

What I can offer:
- Language exchange: French, English and Chinese
- House work: cleaning, general maintenance, painting, repairing etc
- Photography
- Cooking and baking
- Take care of pets/animals in the farm
- Art projects: design of t-shirt, poster, book cover etc
- I have driver's license

I LOVE learning new things and I learn fast. :)
!!Always up for trying out new things!!

Vom Workawayer (Tuyu) für Host (Join our family and help in ...)

It’s my first workaway experience in a farm and I have to say that was fantastic.. way beyond my expectations!!

I was there for 5 weeks in August/September. Their day usually starts at around 8am. Till 9am they finish their morning routine in the farm. Everyone comes back to the house for a coffee break. Then we decide what to do for the day.… read more Everyday can be different. You can also be initiative and come up with your own ideas ;). Around 12 we have lunch together, which is one of my favorite moments during my stay. Ella is an amazing cook. For 5 weeks I had everyday different lunch, delicious and well prepared. They eat lots of meat: lamb, beef, horsemeat and fish as well. Sometimes there’s a nap after lunch. Sometimes they just go back to work directly. About 4pm there’s another coffee break and dinner is usually a lighter meal at around 8pm.

The whole family is very kind and hardworking.
They understand very well the concept of volunteering, which means that they never forced me to do anything but rather asked what I can do/would like to do. If you are interested and motivated, there are a lot of things waiting for you to try out. How? Very simple: just ask :) It might not happen immediately but they always keep in mind.

Don’t be confused when you ask them what to do the next day and they can’t tell you. Because their work is generally based on the weather! Since Iceland has a variable weather, one can hardly rely on the weather from the night before. :)

If you have a drivers license you can explore the area yourself cause they have a spare car that you can use. I was with another workawayer at the same time so we took a day off to Drangey and Hófsos. We also went rafting and kayaking which were both super cool experience! In addition, Hafdís brought us on a road trip till Akureyri and Böddi drove us to the highland as well.

There are a lot more to tell but I don’t want to spoil you and you might want to discover something by yourself. ;)

I can’t stop sharing my experience and feelings about the time in Iceland, particularly in Brúnastaðir. Every moment is precious and unforgettable. It’s engraved in my brain and dissolved in my blood. I miss there so much that sometimes I woke up during the night with tears on my face. It was for me a life changing experience. I really appreciate the family offering me this opportunity.

Hope to see you again very soon! Takk fyrir og sakna þín sárt.

One of the best workaway experience!

Spent a bit more than 3 weeks here and to be honest, chilling at hostel was the best thing during the stay haha. Already wrote some words to Igor and Jess & Facu respectively so nothing important to say here but thank you. Miss all of you and Fenris and Žužu!

Hope to see you soon somewhere in the world

Vom Workawayer (Tuyu) für Host (Experience life in Kyoto, ...)

Sorry for the late reply!
I spent one month here in 2017 and it was the best life experience that I've never had! All the staff are extremely friendly and really open-mined. The work was easy but you have to be very careful :) Rooms, showers and toilets should be very clean (Japanese standard haha)! Friday dinner was always tasty yummy. You can… read more
