Description

I am a curious traveler who loves connecting with people and exploring different cultures. After living in China for 22 years and working in Germany for 18 years—13 of those as a software engineer—I decided to travel the world to experience life from new perspectives.

I moved to Germany because I found people there to be open. During my time in Germany, I learned how to solve problems thoroughly and how to make people genuinely happy.

I am comfortable with language exchange, cooking, and software programming, but I am always open to new challenges. Whether working independently or collaborating with a team, I approach tasks with enthusiasm and care. My volunteer experience includes assisting athletes during an international swimming tournament in Shanghai, where I guided participants and ensured smooth communication.

I speak fluent English, German, and Chinese, and have basic proficiency in Italian and French.

I feel especially happy when I can help people. Once, during an urgent project, a customer needed a product immediately. I worked through the night on Sunday to deliver it, and I will never forget how happy they were—it felt great knowing I had done something good.

In my free time, I enjoy playing chess, which has taught me patience and problem-solving. I also love cooking French cuisine at home—simple ingredients can create amazing flavors! Imagine how scrambled eggs transform with just a bit more butter or the richness of a beef stew simmered in red wine for hours.

I believe a smile is the easiest and most genuine way to brighten someone's day, and I always strive to share positivity wherever I go.

I am excited to contribute, learn, and create meaningful connections through Workaway. I look forward to meeting you and sharing new experiences together!
