Description
I am former special needs educator with 20 years of experience teaching ESL in Hong Kong and mainland China.
I was born and bred in Canada but was based in Hong Kong and mainland China for the past 20 years. I'm fluent in English, Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese.
I am a world traveller that enjoys cultural exchange and learning about the food, places, cultures and people that I meet on my journeys.
As a traveller and teacher, I bring patience, creativity, and a passion for meaningful connections to every opportunity. I'm eager to exchange skills through teaching, language practice, and cultural immersion and I'm also eager to lend a hand with environmental work, farm work and daily tasks with kids and seniors. Workaway excites me as a way to learn from diverse communities worldwide, sharing experiences and knowledge and growing together
