More details about your skills
Hello!

- Fluent in english & mandarin (chinese)
- Driving auto/manual car
- Basic cooking & cleaning skills
- Basic photo taking & editing skills
- Certified Yoga Teacher
- Independent and able to work with/without people
- Loves driving & able to drive (both manual & auto cars)
- Good with kids, good with animal (love horses) sadly in Singapore, we don't come into contact with big animals much.

The past 1 year, i came out of my previous job to take on a role as a yoga studio manager as well as a yoga teacher. I've met hundreds of people from the classes that i've taught, people always say that i make them feel safe warm & comfortable, they enjoy my presence and i often see people returning to my classes. I guess that will be the biggest trait of me, i will be a good fit everywhere.
Age
33
What else ...
I have finished a work contract with the yoga studio that i was tied to. I am taking a few months break to really do something i have always want to do, to work-away-from-home via projects on the workaway.

Travelling is really fun but being able to immerse into a local culture or a family is a different kind of travelling. What you put on the dinner table is different from the restaurants. People from different countries having a meal together, a dinner exchange like this is so valuable (to me). Experiences, friendship, connection is something money can't buy.

I hope this break, i get to spend time with myself, take on a new experience, meet great locals and create beautiful memories. Learn new cooking skills (i'm good with basic chinese cooking) & maybe baking skill (i fail miserably with baking every single time).

Also, i love taking pictures and if i am in your family/house, don't be shy, feel free to ask me to help you with some photographs!

Gil was extremely helpful with everything, you've to say it only once and she gets it. She is smart, educated and a well rounded person, very caring, responsible and very good with conversation. We had many outings, many dinners out and many walks together.

I had the chance to spent 2 weeks at Kevin's, it was one of the most unique living experience. This area is one of most upscale area near L.A (but far from the city center / airport). You'll be living in a 5 star resort-like-apartment with the all the wealthy people and possible the cleanest house and the most comfortable bedroom ever!

I've completed this project about 2 weeks ago. I love this family and i love these people, i'm very grateful to them for giving me a chance to experience living in the Alps / Alpine / Mountain. Everyday i wake up in disbelief as i look out of the window and we are surrounded by Alps by snow literally and we are in the middle of the mountains.… read more

Amazing one month with Christian at Christo's Airbnb! Like one of the review wrote by another workawayer, it is so interesting to witness Milos closing down on tourism at the end of the season (every single restaurant shut down during the winter season). I even had the entire Sarakinikos to myself during the last week (google it), it was… read more fantastic.

This project is what i needed, away from people just to spend some quality time with myself. The one month passed so quickly and i felt so well-rested. As stated work is really just 3 hours a day, accommodation is provided but meals aren't (so you gotta cook or cook together with your workaway-mates if you would like). Chrisitian will bring us to the supermart once or twice a week! I was fortunate to share some meals together with my workaway-mates and also the guests at the airbnb. Thank you for including me!

For my role, I was doing abit of everything cus i wanted to try out different tasks.
At the start, i was cutting trees down to prepare for the winter season, soon after i went to do some house-keeping and i was lucky to be included like family with the guests & made a lot of friends from all over Europe.
Subsequently we did removal of the weeds, painting of the Felix house, and also olive harvesting! (8L of Olive Oil harvested)

The entire project was extremely hands on. Christian will tell you the to-do task a day earlier or on the morning itself. He is like fatherly figure to me, he likes simple things and he likes to keep things simple (original), a very chill guy & he cooks so so well! (If you are lucky to eat his food). He is extremely hands on and is always repairing things, or working on some home-improvement project at his yard so do help him out if you would like.

After work we have the entire day to ourselves and he does not interfere with what you do. I rented a car there for a week out of the one month to explore Milos (it is better to be able to drive). This island is AMAZING. So good for swimming, kayaking and chilling. Tons of clear blue water and it is a place i will return to, on a good day please visit Fyripotanos beach it is my favourite & Sarakinikos (i went there 12x in one month). Christian's workaway project means something to me, i really cherish this opportunity given to me.

Thank you Christian. I truly treasure the times we shared and of course the knackebrot we shared almost every morning. The best butter and May Honey combi that i love! I know i will always remember you and i will miss you.

"Kalimera, Ti Ka Nis? Kala? Ella? Katzi?
Thank you for teaching me simple Greek words and bringing me almost everywhere you go, to Mandrakia & to Thomas. Please remember to live till 100 (na eh ka to ti sis), be well be healthy... one day one day i will return to visit you!
