Description

WA is amazing to discover new culture and to get immersive local life, to gain new skills. Not surprisingly I got some life-long friendship through it! Surprisingly the age and culture are not barriers, I learn positive life attitudes from people with double my age, and share interesting conversation from people with half my age!

####Brief Introduction of myself:
I am highly disciplined and open to learn new skills and other cultures. I studied economics. I can speak Mandarin, English, Spanish and a little French, no Italian/German but love to learn. I worked in high school as Economics teacher. I did part-time job such as translation, artist project between China and Spain.

####Helps / Skills I can provide:
In general, I can cook Chinese food, exchange with languages, receive guests, gardening, care animals, light construction work, web content writer, translation, etc. I don't have driving license.
The WA I did in 2019 in details:
1.Hospitality (in 800-year-old Chateau, France): Breakfast buffet service, guide guests, prepare for events.
2.Homestay (ordinary daily life, USA and France): prepare meals, gardening, speak English with children, take care of horses/chicken, organize things, help with internet
3.Homestay (mainly construction, USA and France): painting, deal with stone, brick and wood
4. non-profit Factory (a religious community, USA): manipulate the machine of packaging, prepare meals (with the cook team) for 100 people.
5. Farm, USA: feeding baby sheep, alpacas and chicken, cutting hair of sheep

####Expectation of the host:
A private room with private toilet is better, due to my weak digestive system.
Hosts with opportunity to meet with local people (their family, friends or neighbours) are preferred.

My hobbies (maybe any of them can be beneficial)
Dance (Latin dance, Flamenco and Chinese classical dance), music. I can play a little piano (my hosts in San Francisco and France were impressive about the music).

Thanks a lot for this platform to bring the similar kind hearts together!!!
