Description
I'm Hong and right now, I'm very interested in many fields.
I love traveling and 2015 I finished High School and started to travel, because it was and is my big dream and by that I want to broaden my horizon as much as possible. I stayed during my world travel 4 months in Bali to work as a teacher and in a Turtle Conservation Center, which I totally loved. Since then I‘ve been on the road non-stopping.
I'm quite reliable, friendly, enthusiastic, independent, positive and I would love to work in many branches and different jobs- most of all I love to help other people. I'm interested in many things and therefore I would love to try out a lot.
Also I'm keen about cultures and languages, so while working away I'd love to learn the language of the country I'm staying in.
Also I love outdoor activities, I‘m very much into triathlon, trekking, hiking, cycling etc. I just love it to be active (almost) all the time.

What can I say? Estelle, Alex, Valentine and Jonathan are such an incredible family I really admire. Their project is an amazing one, and by chance I met them which I am very grateful for.
The family has so much love to give and share, very hospitable and very authentic. Right in the first week I felt like being part of the family. The children… read more

I don't know where to start. But let me tell you, the next time I'll come back to Brazil, I would definitely stay with Rodrigo's family again.
For me a place is only as good as its people, even though Varginha might be not attractive to tourists.
But the loveliest Brazilian family is living in this small city in Minas Gerais. I felt lucky and… read more blessed to stay with Rodrigo's family and got to know them. Rodrigo has truly a big heart, is very generous and has an understanding for everything. He is very open-minded and an ambitious person, you will connect with him within the first seconds, of course if you only want to.
I always got treated like a princess by Rodrigo and his family. You will even have your own room and have the chance to indulge yourself into food of Minas Gerais (so far it is the best one in Brazil).
Cris, Rodrigo's wife is a warm-hearted and very sweet person, who takes care of everything and has a humongous heart. I wished only I could have talked more to her :)!
And Natália, their child is such a cutiepie, if I would wished for myself a younger sister it would be her.
I loved playing with her and she might be shy at the beginning, but she has loads of energy and can put easily a smile on other people's face- like she did with me.
I literally enjoyed all the classes I joined- all of the students are super friendly, great and lovely persons. It was an honour for me to get to know them. I feel so incredibly sad, when I had to say goodbye. It was definitely one of the best workaway experiences I ever had. I could live the brazilian local life, talk with them about anything and everything.
Also Cris's sister is super hospitable and I loved to spend my time with her 2 daughters. She did so many things for me. I hope truly from the bottom
of my heart, one day I can return everything back...
But the most important thing is they gave me a home far away from home.
When you're traveling around the world, the thing you'll appreciate most - are people who'll give a home to you- far away from all the safety and security you have at home. They gave me their love, their hearts and shared with me their life.
Thinking about it, I'm more than touched and feel very blessed to know this family. If you're searching for an authentic, lovely and unforgettable life experience, don't hesitate to contact this family.
You won't regret it, I promise.
I miss them all a lot and those are memories I'll keep forever.
You all mean a lot to me, and Varginha will always have a special place in my heart due to your kindness and everything you did for me. Words can't describe my feelings and gratefulness. Thank you very much. For everything. You will be forever my Brazilian family. Our roads will cross in the future again, but until them please take good care :).
Yours truly, Hong

Think of a loving and caring person...! Ms. Hong is at the very least twice as that ! I will never forget her sweet words to cheer me up when I was in pain after the marathon. She tried to calm me down and make me feel cared for.Hong was a blessing in my family, close friends and relatives. Everyone she met along the way started liking her… read more

To help out in this hostel was an amazing experience. The work was never too much, and there is enough freetime to explore the city and surrounding. The area is quite convenient and a good location to stay and going out. It's nice to meet other and different people in this hostel. Shelley and Sattoro were just great and willing to help whatever… read more

It was my first time volunteering at workaway and I felt like the most luckiest girl on earth to stay with this lovely, generous and best Taiwanese Family I got to know! I literally couldn't ask for a better place to start with. My experience to talk and improve English with the family is most of the time funny and it was never boring. They also… read more
