Description
Hey
I'm Qian, a 26-year-old female from China. I speak Mandarin and English (IELTS 7.5).
I have been traveling and volunteering for more than one year :)
What I have done and am interested in:
*hospitality: reception, waitress, housekeeping
*language training: teaching English, preparing students for IELTS tests
*homestay: babysitting, living family life, socializing, promoting for tourism, community
*farm and construction: don't mind getting hands dirty; can do labor; living in the nature and hiking
Learning different cultures and getting in touch with people are fascinating to me. I study sociology and anthropology in university and enjoy getting immersed in local cultures. I'm quite adaptable and go with the flow.
Nice to meet you and let's create good memories together☀.

*Hospitality. I worked at a hostel in Bangkok for one month as receptionist and waitress. Paid work at an ecotourism hotel in Albania for three months( until the season ends). I serve meals, make coffee, check in guests,clean bathrooms, chop vegetables for dinner and take care of everything around the hotel.
*Teaching English. My IELTS score is 7.5 and I enjoy communicating with others.
*Babysitting. I have experience in a day care center and several families overseas.I get on well with kids and I’m the favorite of my nieces. I really like playing with them and taking care of them.
*I'm willing to do construction projects and farmwork. I can do labor and get works done with instructions. If there is tedious and repetitive work which nobody likes, let me get it done while listening to podcasts :)

Qian was a pleasure to have around. She followed instructions, did her task, she liked manual labour. She communicated well with both workers and volunteers. She is welcome back at our farm at any time!

It's unique experience to work at this big farm owned by a South African couple in Georgia with other volunteers (sounds as international and mixed as it is). During this one month's stay, I mainly worked on the fences. It's fun to use tools to fix them, to make them tight and useful. I get quite a lot of sense of achievement doing this handy… read more

This is my luck meeting this family in Bursa. They are close and sweet. Ezig is a charming lady and her husband Emrah is also involved in housework and child care. Deniz and Demir are the cutest boys. They travel a lot, fun and open minded. They are also very warm to guests. There are ferries between Istanbul and Mudanya, book at least one day in… read more

I visited the school in Phnom Penh where they have an international program. The school is very modern and developed. During a festival the host also invited me to go to the school in Ratanakiri. That’s really a nice place with great scenery. I met Russel from Australia there and we had nice chats. He has been there for more than one year and… read more

Before I came here, Mr. Sokhan told me in advance that the room for foreign volunteers was not available and I would live with a local staff. I thought I would get very authentic experience and it’s real. I had class from 8 am to 11 am (two breaks). Students here are better at speaking English than I imagined and they are really cute, polite and… read more

I stayed here for two weeks and find Ipoh quite a chill town. It’s surrounded by beautiful hills and the city center has many nice old buildings. From the hostel it’s very easy to find good food and every meal I had here was comforting (maybe partly because I’m Chinese). Suky also runs a kindergarten and she is warm and nice. On Sunday morning… read more

I cant't be more grateful towards this experience and our host Howard. This is not my first volunteer experience but my first try in a hostel. And it's far beyond my expectation. Many guests and volunteers come back beacause of the good vibe here. The daily work is fair and relaxing.
Howard welcomes all with a big heart and he is very genuine and… read more

I’m lucky to be Ms. Ola’s first workawayer here. She is a young but experienced kindergarten teacher and develops her own program. I stayed in her day care center and there are several kids under four years old. They are very adorable and lively. Playing with and taking care of them gave me pure happiness. You can also learn another way of raising… read more
