Description

Hey there! I'm a 27-year-old Chinese woman living a sort of nomadic life. I teach English online to cover my daily expenses, and I do work exchange to really connect with locals.

In my downtime, I'm a big reader—mostly social science stuff. I also love watching debates and talks; honestly, learning new things is just fun for me. Plus, I'm really into photography—I love taking pictures of people, animals, and scenery.

To stay healthy and keep my mind clear, I try to go hiking or climb a mountain at least once a week. I also do yoga and Pilates regularly. And if I get the chance, I'm all about rock climbing, archery, and kayaking—they're super challenging and a blast!

I have a cat and a dog, but they're staying with my mom for now. I miss them like crazy, but I feel like I need to go out and explore the world. If I ever find a city I want to settle in, I'll bring them over. I've got loads of experience taking care of pets, and I've even helped out with animal rescue before.

I'm a little shy when I first meet people, so I might be a bit nervous in a new place—just give me a little time to warm up. I value sincerity and mutual respect in my relationships with others. I always appreciate and reciprocate kindness and respect, but I also don't tolerate rudeness or disrespect. I believe that setting healthy boundaries is the key to finding your true comfort zone. Haha.

More details about my language interests
I've got about a year of experience teaching English to Chinese students—mostly reading and writing. Since I love reading myself, I always push my students to read more and learn new words naturally from context. I also took an A1 French course at Alliance Française and still dabble in online lessons, but it's hard—and I barely get to use it, so I'm moving at a snail's pace. So if you speak French, please talk to me! As for Japanese, I've been to Japan a few times and watch some anime, so I know a handful of basic phrases, but never really studied it properly. If you know Japanese, I'd be super happy to practice with you too!

More details about your skills

1. Coding skills – I used to be an electronics engineer, so I've got solid programming and logical thinking skills. I can help build websites, apps, or just do some basic maintenance if needed.

2. Pet care – I've had a cat for 3 years and a dog for 1 year, so I'm totally comfortable taking care of both. Feeding, walking, playing, cleaning – I can handle it all.

3. Childcare & tutoring – I've worked as a private tutor for middle school and elementary kids, teaching English. So I'm good with kids – whether it's helping with homework, playing games, or just keeping them company.

4. Cooking & housework – I can cook quite a few dishes. My signature ones are tomato scrambled eggs, Coca-Cola chicken wings, and garlic spare ribs. And I can also whip up vegan meals if that's your thing. So if you need a hand in the kitchen, I've got you covered.

5. Photography & media – I have professional photography gear and know my way around video editing. I can shoot, edit, and even help with social media content if that's something you're into.

What else ...

I'm a big gamer! I love board games—especially the strategy, deduction, and adventure kinds. I also play video games, though I try to keep myself from getting too hooked. And here's the thing: I'm also a game designer (self-proclaimed, haha). I really hope to create my own game one day, but I haven't made it happen yet. Right now I'm working hard on improving my art skills to get there.
