Hello workaway hosts:) :)

Thanks for reading my profile. I am Xuan from Shanghai, China. I grew up in shanghai, had my bachelor degree there then went to Europe studying at business school for my master degree. After having studied and lived in Europe for 5 years (4 years in France&1 year in Germany), I went back home. I have been working for different international companies in cosmetics and wine on PR/Marketing, global sourcing and administration executive at lycée français de Shanghai. I am a hard worker, very organized and responsible. I see myself as an open-minded, reliable, honest, easy-going and fun person. I enjoy new challenges/adventures and can easily adapt to a new environment/workplace.

5 years ago in October, I quitted my job for this life changing RTW trip. It was not an impulsive but hard decision and I am so glad I did it. I have never felt myself so complete, vivid and happy. I have met and made loads of like-minded friends from all over the world, learned a lot of new skills, found some new passions like surfing, shared so much love and laugh with people…the most important thing is that i have developped so much myself spiritually, mentally and physically.

I have done more than 20 volunteering jobs in different countries while traveling in South East Asia/Australia/New Zealand/USA/Canada/Mexico/Costa Rica/Panama/South America in the past years:

Next is YOUR PLACE ;)

Thanks to these experiences, I have developed a good sense of customer service and am a good team player ;)

As to my personal interests, hmm, I like eating (big foodie!) and discovering local dishes and recipes. I love nature and enjoy outdoor activities (snorkelling, kayaking, SUP, surfing, hiking, bicycling etc.). I practise Yoga on a daily basis.

I am so eager and thirsty for new experiences and new things to learn. Hope to meet you! A Chinese quote to share: “Isn't it pleasant to have friends coming from distant quarters?”

Cheers

Was könntest du arbeiten?

I speak Chinese (mother tongue), French (second language) and English (second language) and am learning Spanish (for 3 years). My Spanish level is good enough to manage reception tasks.

I am sure my language skills can be a contribution to any host. My previous working experiences also allow me to develop good communication and organization skills, which I think are very important for any position.

I helped some hostels to manage social media : mainly Instragram, taking pics and videos, writing captions etc. In addition, i know mostly booking reservation systems such as frontdeskmaster etc. I used to be volunteer manager and do trainings at some small hostels. Knowledge of some online marketing stuff too.

Besides, I am a quick learner and adaptable to various scenarios
