Description

Hi, I’m Minji Kim, a calm and thoughtful person from South Korea.
You can also call me Kira Yew ( It's my English name which my friends picked up for my new adventure hoping that the name will bring me a bright energy and cherish moment ! isn't it lovely? )

Last year, I went through a difficult time after losing a close family member. It made me reflect deeply on life, and I realized I needed to step away from my job as a nurse to focus on recovery and reconnecting with myself. I’m now on a journey to rest, learn, and grow through new experiences. I’m grateful for the chance to contribute and connect with kind people through Workaway.

I’m currently on a working holiday in Montreal, Canada and learning French!

I’d love to spend time learning about different ways of life, helping out where I can, and contributing with sincerity.

I’m responsible, tidy, and used to caring for others, so I’m comfortable working in calm, organized environments. but I also have experiences working in a busy place such as a cafe and restaurant.

I learn quickly even in areas I have no experience. So, please teach me a lot. I'm very open to any !
I am trying to write down all the journeys in my personal blogs in several ways.

what else.. I have an experience having 2 cats long time ago, and l love animals walking dogs and petting. Even though I haven't had any pet currently, sometimes I visit my friends only to pet their dogs and cats :D

I hope to share good energy and exchange stories with warmhearted hosts.
Thank you for reading my profile and hopefully see you on my journey.

p.s. I’m only able to drive automatic cars. I am going to bring my international driver license if that would help.
