  • Description

    Hi there:D
    I am now staying at Vienna under the Working Holiday Programme.

    I have always loved to travel and explore different cultures and places, but lately I wish to stay at a country longer to experience the life there, instead of just a brief vacation. I want to explore other possibilities of lifestyle that is slow and sustainable, something different from the fast-paced life in Hong Kong.

    Till now I have done 2 workaways and I have to say I'm really grateful for the experience. Not only do I acquire some interesting working experience, but i also had lots of valuable interactions with the hosts or voluteers I've met. Living with them inspires me that there are so many ways to live a happy life in this world.

    I worked as a nurse in Hong Kong. I considered myself an introvert, and I like to read, cook and write journals a lot. At the same time, I am a curious and open-minded person. I like outdoor activities such as camping and hiking, and I love learning new skills. I don't mind to get my hands dirty and I’m happy to help wherever I can! :D

  • More details about your skills

    I have been working as a nurse in a public hospital for 6 years, so I am equipped with rigid knowledge and experience of nursing care. I've trained to communicate with different parties and work under high pressure.
    While I don't have pets, I volunteered at a shelter for strayed dogs in the past, took care of my friend's cat when she is abroad as well. so you can say I have some experience with pets too :D
    I can also play piano so I can teach you if you want:D
