Travelling
Description
Hi there! I'm a 28-year-old from Taiwan, currently on a one-year working holiday in Ireland. Back home, I worked as a software engineer, and here in Ireland, I've been gaining experience in the bakery.
I'm passionate about deep thinking, traveling, and writing. I've explored many countries across Asia, and this is my first adventure in Europe. What drives me is my love for authentic cultural experiences and connecting with people - I believe that simply rushing through tourist spots is such a waste of the incredible opportunities travel offers.
That's exactly why I'm drawn to this platform! I'm planning to travel from September 2025 to April 2026, and I'm eager to find work exchange opportunities throughout this period. I'm open to any type of work and would be thrilled to learn new skills, but what I'm most hoping for is the chance to experience genuine local culture through the families and communities I stay with.
I believe the best way to truly understand a place is through the eyes and stories of the people who call it home.
