*️️️️️️️️️️️Taught English & Mandarin in the school classroom environment and tutoring in private homes
*️️️️️️️️️️️Cooked and taught hosts how to cook delicious Asian food with health-conscious
*️️️️️️️️️️️Helped hosts with organic farming and taking care of animals. Back home, we grow organic gardens as well
*️️️️️️️️️️️Helped hosts organizing and clean spaces.
Personal info:
I love outdoor hiking, biking, mountain climbing, yoga, meditation, swimming, group dancing. I love cooking with healthy conscious; strive to keep myself physically and mentally active and fit.
Married for 30 plus years, my husband loves to stay home playing his piano at least 6 hours a day, while I wish to travel as much as possible :)
Since I was being asked too often about my photography.
Currently, I use Pixiset App to share my photography with people who shared their lifestyles with me. I would always give away my photos for free for cultural exchanges.
