Description

Hi! My name is Kangi I’m American, and deeply curious about the world. I recently spent six months living in Taiwan studying Mandarin Chinese and immersing myself in a new culture. Now, I’m exploring Thailand and looking for meaningful experiences that allow me to contribute, connect, and continue growing.

I’m an Aquarius, so yes, I probably fit some of the stereotypes—creative, free-spirited, independent, and always asking questions about life and the universe. I love animals, nature, the beach, meeting new people, and having deep, thought-provoking conversations. When I’m not daydreaming or contemplating the mysteries of existence, you’ll usually find me reading, writing, meditating, or enjoying good food with good company.

A healthy spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional life is important to me. My mission these days is simple: follow my intuition, stay open to new experiences, and spend my time doing work that feels meaningful and aligned.

I’ve had several volunteer experiences over the years, including gardening, hostel reception, social media, and helping create welcoming environments for travelers. I’m also a TEFL-certified English teacher and a 200-hour yoga instructor. I taught English in Guangzhou, China for two years and have experience creating content through writing, filming, and editing videos.

I enjoy being helpful and adaptable. Whether it’s helping in a garden, cleaning, cooking , caring for animals, assisting with guests, creating content, or supporting day-to-day tasks, I’m always excited to learn something new and contribute where I can.

At this point in my journey, I’m less interested in rushing from place to place and more interested in having intentional days, connecting with like-minded people, and creating experiences that are meaningful, memorable, and mutually supportive.

Looking forward to meeting you and hopefully creating some beautiful memories together. 🌿✨

More details about your skills

I was an executive assistant for a production company for a year. I taught English for 4 years (2 years in Guangzhou, China, 1 year in Chester, Pennsylvania USA and 1 year online). During my Yoga Teacher Training program I studied both Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga (200-hour certified). Since I've changed my lifestyle and became vegan 4 years ago, I taught myself by watching Youtube videos how to make creative delicious vegan meals. I started a Youtube channel so I leaned how to edit through trial and error. I'm not very consistent with Youtube, but you're free to check out my videos by typing my name (Kangi Downing).
