Description

Hello! My name is Yijia. I just finished my MA study at Tallinn University in Estonia and started my gap year of traveling around Europe. I hope to discover and understand myself better this way, through exploring the inner and outer world. My interest lies in philosophy, astrology, spiritual topics, nature, arts, and handicrafts. I am curious about different cultures, people, lifestyles, and I like trying new things. Reading, writing, traveling and helping people all make me happy and fulfilled, too. Now I am learning to love myself, life, people, and the world unconditionally without judgement. It would be my pleasure to share my knowledge, experiences, joy, and happiness with you!

More details about your skills

I had a few years of work experience back in my home country China in different environments like hospitality, international trade, schools, etc. So I have good communication and time management skills. I am also capable of working independently or with teammates. As a friendly, open-minded, and responsible person, I am happy to learn new skills and help with different kinds of tasks. In addition, I had a few volunteer experiences in China, Estonia, and Finland, mainly about painting, gardening, farm work, and general help around the house. I also take great photos and can help with events, workshops, and using the computer. But I would love to learn some new skills during my travel, such as woodwork, herbs, animals etc.
