Hello! 🌎
This is AC, a 27-year-old Hong Konger, just finished my Master in Potsdam Germany and recently moved to Berlin! I went to USA Minnesota for a year exchange through AFS in 2011-2012 when I was fifteen and since then the State has become my second home!

I consider myself an enthusiastic traveler largely due to the influence of my mother who backpacked 29 countries in 180 Days at the age of 26. She has always encouraged me to just pack my bag and go explore the world. So here I am, all packed and ready to go!

I co-founded a social enterprise in Hong Kong in 2019-Ways Out that aims to empower underprivileged women through upcycling household food waste to jewelry, by providing them with training and job opportunities. Check it out here: https://www.waysouthk.com/aboutus

AC is one of the best volunteers we ever have. She is so friendly, kind and her English is so good. She stayed with us long enough to make friends in here, and ask her, how does she feel about her friends here! Our customers and staffs really like her, they often went out together and had fun. We were so impressed with her knowledge and her… read more

AC was a great volunteer, very full of energy and initiative to get the job done. Whether we gave her hard physical labor (we were in the middle of re-doing our roof when she was here and there was a lot of old roofing material that had to be carried and disposed of) or blogging for the hostel, she was always willing and able to do the job. … read more
