Travel information

I am currently

Description

I'm currently studying computer science and Chinese at the University of Melbourne, and I am about to graduate this year in June. I am very friendly, and I love the outdoors and animals.

I am hoping to travel to Taiwan for a few months after graduating university, to practise my Chinese and to get to experience Taiwanese culture. I have already spent one month living in Tainan last year, where I studied Chinese at 成功大學, and I am hoping to be able to experience life in other Taiwanese cities, and to be able to speak Chinese with my workaway hosts.

More details about my language interests
I love learning Mandarin and hope that I can speak Mandarin every day while I am living in Taiwan. I would also be interested in learning Cantonese or Taiwanese, but I can't speak either of them yet. I speak fluent English, and am happy to help you practise your English or to teach your children English
