Description

Hi, I'm Bonna. I'm currently on a working holiday in New Zealand. I come from a mixed Chinese-Korean family, graduated from university in Seoul, South Korea, have previously worked in Shanghai. And has visited 10 countries including the United States, Italy, Spain, France, etc. What inspired me to come to New Zealand was the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone, embrace the unknown, and become a more international person. Meeting people from all walks of life, sharing stories, and learning about different cultures have enriched my life. I also enjoy being close to nature and animals—spending time with them is a spiritual cleansing, calming my mind and filling my heart with peace. I'm skilled in flower arranging and painting, and I often use these skills to add beauty to my daily life. I also enjoy simple pleasures, like tea ceremonies, sunrises, gardening, and chatting with others. Bringing joy and surprise to others often gives me a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. I'm a native Korean and Chinese speaker, and I also speak English. I've taught Korean in communities in China—if you're interested in language exchange, I look forward to connecting with you. I'm eager to connect and learn different skills, to fulfill my new work, to absorb new perspectives, and to create memories that will linger long after my trip.
