Travel information

Description

Since 2023, I’ve been traveling after leaving my job, using this time to explore different ways of living and to grow through new experiences.

I enjoy being in nature and working with animals, and I’m especially drawn to outdoor activities like trekking, hiking, skiing, and diving. I also like reading, thinking, and writing.

I’m naturally a quiet and reflective person, comfortable spending time alone, but I work well in a team and communicate clearly when needed. I take responsibility seriously and aim to be reliable, practical, and easy to work with.

I joined Workaway to step outside my comfort zone, meet new people, and learn through hands-on experience. I’m happy to help wherever needed and always try to bring a positive and respectful attitude.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accountancy from Singapore Institute of Management.

From 2017 to 2023, I worked in my family’s metal fabrication business as a manager, handling sales and coordinating production. This role taught me to be practical, responsible, and able to solve problems in real working situations.

In 2014, I joined AIESEC and spent 6 weeks in the Czech Republic, teaching basic English and sharing cultural knowledge in schools with students aged 4 to 17. This experience made me comfortable working with children and adapting to new environments.

I am also a PADI-certified open water diver and enjoy outdoor and physical activities.

Overall, I am reliable, hands-on, and adaptable. I learn quickly and am happy to help with a wide range of tasks.

I also have an interest in music, particularly guitar and piano.

I rarely drink alcohol and am comfortable in both social and quiet environments.

I value a simple and healthy lifestyle, with an emphasis on whole foods and staying active.

I’m easygoing, respectful of others, and try to create a calm and positive environment wherever I stay.
