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 (:

CQ came to stay with us for 5 weeks this fall. We were so happy to welcome his happy enthusiasm for all things to our frenetic prewinter preparations. His consistent, joyful, and open attitude served him well when he and his friend, Chris, spent days and weeks helping to process firewood for the winter. We were amazed by his willingness to embrace… read more

CQ stayed with us for one week, to help restoring the old-timer van. He works hard, has a hands-on mentality and is not afraid to work independently. As an exception from our side (our house is quite small to host more than one Workawayer), he stayed together with his friend Pam, who looked very well after the toddler and helped with some… read more

It was my first solo workaway and i couldn't have asked for a better place to spend my time in Canberra. Joseph & Alan were so hospitable and friendly to me. Alan even brought me on a day trip to the NASA Museum & Tidbinbilla National Park (we had a lovely time looking for wild animals!)

Work at the hostel was fairly simple and straight forward.… read more

CQ is a very kind person, he is always open with you and you know that he'll always help you.
