Description

Hello! I’m Jang (my Korean name is Jangung, but you can call me Jang - this is the easier way to pronounce it :) ) and I am from Busan, Korea. I was studying Biology in university for a year, but I decided to take a gap year this year for finding out more about what I want to be and what I like. I am in New Zealand at the moment because I want to experience a lot of different things and I want to meet a lot of different people.

I’m good at teaching science or maths, and and I also have some experience with farm work - my grandparents were farmers, so I helped out occasionally when I was younger (like picking apples!). I’m also comfortable around animals - I have two cats in my home, and when I stayed at my grandfather’s farm, I helped take care of his dog, rabbit and chicken. So I’m familiar with looking after pets and enjoy spending time with them. Also, if you like I can teach boxing and piano(I learnt piano for 5 years when I was young, so I can teach basic piano and some songs). I love cooking and learning about different food cultures. Whenever I stay in hostels, I ask people to show me their own cooking styles — it's one of my favorite ways to connect with others. I love being able to immerse myself into the culture and learn different ways of life whilst meeting people, which is one of the main reasons I came to New Zealand. I love being a part of a team and becoming close to those I work with. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading, and having conversations with others — I'm always curious to hear about people's lifestyles and stories.

The most important thing to know about me is that I like doing new things, and I am an enthusiastic and positive person. For example, when I worked at a cafe in a department store during my summer vacation, over 1500 people per day came to the cafe, but I did not lose my passion and I learnt new skills fast,and my employer even gave me a raise because of my attitude and work ethic. Whenever I encounter problems or difficulties, I have a positive attitude towards solving that problem in any situation. (I try to stay positive and find good solutions.)

Looking forward to sharing and learning with you!
