Description
Hii, my name's Lian. I'm a Chinese adoptee raised in The Netherlands and I'm looking to improve my Mandarin to feel more connected to my roots and to my people and also to improve my chances of finding my birth family in China. While I'm learning, I love to travel to different places and learn more about local culture and people. My greatest passion is probably 美食 , delicious foods from around the world

I took 3 years of Mandarin classes at my university in The Netherlands and spent a total of 10 months learning Mandarin in Taipei. After my graduation last year, however, it was hard to maintain my language skills. I've noticed I'm forgetting words and grammar structures so I really want to pick it up again.

More details about your skills
In The Netherlands I've worked in hospitality for several years. I have experience in serving in restaurants, customer service, washing dishes, and occasional cleaning. Besides that, I've had multiple baby sitting jobs which entailed picking them up from school, doing activities, going to the park, and cooking for them. In terms of study, I've finished a bachelor studies in Chinese culture and Mandarin. And in my free time I love to do something creative like painting, making small crafts, attempting to play my ukulele or piano, or taking care of my plants.
