  • Description

    Hi there! My name is CQ

    Im from Singapore and in 2023, I’m training to be a pilot for my dream career. Been doing workaway for several years in the past and trying to find pockets of time to explore more places!


    A little about me: Having grown up in the small city life of Singapore, Im always fascinated by the world out there and places I can explore. After my college studies in mechanical engineering, I took a gap year to backpack Asia, Europe and Africa. While travelling, I came across workaway projects and it has totally changed the way I travel! It allowed me to spend more time with locals and help out with interesting projects which were some of the best experiences in my life. From then on, I became a huge fan of workaway.

    Some of my workaway experiences:
    -Bamboo harvesting in Shizouka, Japan, 2017
    -Hostel work in Osaka, Japan, 2017
    -Organic Farming in Yilan, Taiwan, 2017
    -Cabin lodge construction in Joensuu, Finland, 2017
    -English summer camp in Barnual, Russia, 2017 (My fav!)
    -English language exchange in Hanoi, Vietnam, 2017
    -Camping assistance in Rhodes Island, Greece, 2017
    -Guesthouse work in Ezuz, Israel, 2017
    -Private school teaching in Rusinga Island, Kenya, 2018
    -Hostel work in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, 2018
    -Brewery and bartending work in Nieu Bethesda, South Africa, 2018
    -Revamping vehicle project in Oosteind, Netherlands, 2018
    -Cafe assistance in Hanno, Japan, 2019
    -Family farm work in Yukon, Canada, 2021
    -Sailing ship in Vancouver, Canada, 2021
    -Ski resort assistance in Nozawa, Japan, 2022

    Activities/Interests that I enjoy:
    Discovering new things
    Exploring unknown places
    Learning new cultures
    Water sports (Scuba diving, freediving, kayaking, swimming)
    Most outdoor sports (Rock climbing, bouldering, trekking, biking)
    Animal care
    Looking after little kids
    Natures
    Spontaneous decisions!
    Reading
    Volunteering/Humanitarian aids

    My life goal is to compile all the amazing experiences I've came across and create a platform/opportunity for others to explore their own dream path too. It can be a project on resolving poverty, providing educational opportunities, community for similar travellers or something along that line(Love to hear anyone's inputs/ideas!)

    Also, to build my dream house somewhere in the world (:
