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.

Rae speaks and reads Chinese so well that it impressed us a lot. Students had a great time in her cultural presentations. Students at my school enjoyed making fairy bread with her. Rae made the delicious Anzac biscuits for elementary school students. They all love them. We had a great time with Rae and she's always willing to help. It's a pity… read more

I really enjoyed doing a cultural presentation for the children at Yuzhen's school and for the community children, and I… read more

I had an unbelievably wonderful time staying in Miaoli with Carrie! I did not expect to have so much fun teaching English, but the kids were so friendly and cute.
