Description

I believe life is too short to let fear or limitations hold us back. My priority has always been happiness — not just as a feeling, but as a way of living. That belief has led me to explore the world, meet incredible people, and constantly challenge myself.

After graduating high school in Korea, I embarked on a Working Holiday in Australia. When my visa ended, I joined the WOOFF program, living on three different farms, learning to appreciate the rhythm of nature and the joy of simple living. Later, I spent months in Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, and Cebu, experiencing each place like a local and building connections that I still cherish today.

I am an outgoing, open-minded person who thrives on meeting new people and learning about different cultures. In Korea, I worked as a supporter for Working Holiday participants and exchange students, and I volunteered for a year as a language exchange staff member. I also love animals deeply — a few years ago, I volunteered at a dog shelter and ended up adopting one of the dogs I cared for.

To overcome my fear of water, I started paddleboarding two years ago and have since taken up wing foiling and windsurfing. I love activities that push me out of my comfort zone and teach me new ways to enjoy life.

Now, after years of working through busy schedules and the pause of the pandemic, I’ve joined Workaway to reconnect with what truly makes me happy — meaningful exchanges with people from around the world, learning through hands-on experiences, and contributing wherever I can.

I would love to share my journey with you, learn from yours, and create memories together that will inspire us both to keep seeking happiness in every corner of the world.

More details about your skills

I’m a friendly, positive, and reliable person who loves meeting people and trying new things. I enjoy making others feel welcome and working together as a team.

I’ve done volunteer work as a Working Holiday supporter and language exchange staff, helping travelers and students from all over the world feel at home in Korea. I’ve also taught kids as a drone instructor in after-school programs — it was so much fun and taught me a lot about patience and guiding others with care.

In my previous job, I managed people and made sure everything ran smoothly. I take responsibility seriously — I never missed a day of school and was always on time. At university, I was top of my class for 5 out of 6 semesters because I always give my best. This reliability helps me work well in any team and keep things running smoothly.

I’m also creative! I’ve managed a company’s YouTube channel and social media accounts, and I can make simple online content. I’m always ready to learn, happy to help with any kind of task, and excited to share my energy and skills with my hosts.

Travel is also a big part of my life — this year I visited Malaysia and Vietnam.

I enjoy learning new things. Last year, I completed a coffee course and earned an international barista certificate (Level 2). Recently, I also finished a marketing course to improve my personal skills.
