Description

Hi!!!☺️ My name is Monique, 22, and I am from the Netherlands. I have just finished my bachelor and have decided to explore some more of the world. I took a course in Mandarin and Chinese history so ended up going to China for my travels. I am traveling solo, I love nature and being outdoors. I cannot get enough of mountains, rivers, waterfalls and forests. Additionally, I love meeting new people, especially learning about other ways of life. In the Netherlands I play volleyball, I also like bouldering, (pole) dancing, squash, festivals, raves and reading. Thus, a whole bunch of interests. Sustainability is a driving factor in my life, as much as I can say that having flown to China. I try to eat vegetarian meals, but do not want to miss too many cultural experiences and cannot always translate my preferences. Therefore, I am more flexible with my diet while traveling.

Monique is a very cheerful, easy going and independent person. We enjoyed the time spent with her. During the work exchange, I was not feeling well for a few days and she was really helpful. I was very lucky to have her around to take care of the kids and house chores. We also talked about culture, education, travel experience, dreams and even … read more

I volunteered with teacher Goh for a week and a half and had a great experience. As this is a small and very personal daycare, the guidance of the children is also very hands-on. For the majority of the time I assisted only one, two or three kids at once. I helped them primarily with their English homework, I have a very basic understanding of … read more

I volunteered here for one month and had the best experience I could've had. Firstly, all the teachers are incredible. They are very excited to connect with the volunteers, during lunch and even outside of classes. I worked with the Middle school children and really felt like I was able to contribute somewhat to the lessons, even if I only … read more
