Description
We are sister and brother!
- I love to experience: meeting new people, listening to their stories, and respecting them regardless of their background, status, etc. I'm creative and active in learning, and helping, from intellectual to manual tasks. I'm positive and willing to accept the unexpected, so every single trips are great for me (as long as it's safe)!
- I'm passionate in the education field so it's perfect to work with educational projects. I've organized some camps and activities for children, and now I have my nephew who is 3 years old, so my love for children even grows bigger with sympathy, and always hope to help every child for their best future!
- As for my brother, he is very enthusiastic and a fast learner. He can do everything !
- Besides, we love cooking and can learn to cook your country's dishes, as well as share about our country's cuisine!

Left by Workawayer (Quynh & Giang) for host (Our students need some help ...)

That was my first time alone in a new country through workaway, and I feel how lucky I am to have it. The hosts: kru, her daughter, and their family members are so kind, taking care of me as their daughter and sister. I spent 1 month there, immersing myself in a new life, met lovely and special people, had a lot of lessons, and new thoughts and… read more became more mature.
One month after I came back to my hometown- Vietnam, they had a holiday in Vietnam and also visited my house. We are actually like members of a family!

To describe more for workawayers, especially those who joined this website first time:
- Chiangmai, and to be more specific, Samoeing is safe, with nice and very friendly people, not only the host but also other teachers, and neighbors. Before coming I was afraid of being scamming, who knows thatwhere they would take me to after they pick up me from the airport. Luckily, they are all kind people, no scam here! However, I think the experience via this website still has some things that need to be improved to protect workawayers, but before that, we should protect ourselves by checking information, asking as many travelers as possible who used to experience with the host we're interested in.
- You might work at Ban Pa Lan school (the school of Kru) or at the school near Kru house, you might stay in her house or in the school's rooms. It depends. My room in Kru's house was so tidy and enough things for me. However, you should still prepare some of your personal stuffs.
- Both hosts are good teachers who care about students and want to bring the best things for them. I couldn't imagine that they have Montessori in a school in a mountainous area. You might meet Vincent, who is the sponsor for the school and have a lot of new knowledge from him, both knowledge about how to work with kids, and knowledge in other fields
- Abour work at school: I worked mostly with kindergarten and primary students. I taught them cooking, English, and making crafts. You can discuss with both hosts and teach them anything you want and think it's good for the children.
- About communication: Kru and her children can speak English well, Kru's daughter and Mr.Soi can speak English less, but they always try their best to communicate and exchange languages. To me, there is no problem because my main purpose in coming there was not solely to learn English.
In general, I cannot make sure that your experience will be as good as mine, but I think the most important thing we should bring when traveling is our attitude to accept and face unexpected situations. For example, I stayed with kru, which meant I had to get up early and spent a lot of time in the car to go to school, but I still enjoyed it. Or there were some days that I was quite tired, but in the end, I didn't feel bad or disappointed, just needed sleep to recover^^

I will come back to Thailand again to visit them, hope that other workawayers also have memorable experience with kru, daughter and their family

(Excellent )
