Travelling
My next destination:
Canada - from Jun 2023 until Jun 2024 View allDescription
I'm Yi-Ching, a spirited individual hailing from Taiwan. The thrill of adventure courses through my veins, leading me to explore the world with an insatiable curiosity.
Solo travel is my passion, and every trip is an opportunity not only to discover new places but also to forge new friendships. There's something truly magical about listening to the stories of fellow travelers, learning from their experiences, and sharing a piece of our lives in return.
On another note, I'm an avid lover of amusement parks. Every new place I visit comes with a quest to find its amusement park, to relish the joyful atmosphere and indulge in the thrill of the rides. From Taiwan's own amusement parks to iconic parks like Tokyo Disneyland, Universal Studios Osaka, Efteling in the Netherlands, and Parc Astérix in France, I've embraced the joy of each adventure.
I believe that every journey is an opportunity for growth. My path has taken me to Japan, where I immersed myself in a six-month study abroad experience and a homestay program. These experiences allowed me to not only understand a different culture but also refine my adaptability and communication skills.
Currently, I am in Canada. I've set three main goals for myself: to master horseback riding, conquer the slopes with skiing, and elevate my English skills. Each of these goals symbolizes my appetite for new challenges and continuous personal growth.
My journey is a tapestry of connections, personal growth, and endless exploration.Interests

Japanese: IntermediateMore details about my language interests
I'm very interested in further enhancing my English skills. Additionally, I'm planning to travel to Germany or Austria in the future, so I'm also motivated to learn German. My native language is Mandarin Chinese, and I've also spent some time living in Japan, so I can offer instruction in basic Mandarin Chinese or Japanese. If you're intrigued by simplified and traditional Chinese characters as well as kanji, I'd be delighted to explore them together with you.Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn

Helping around the houseMore details about your skills
I possess a diverse skill set geared towards maintaining a clean and organized environment. My background includes part-time housekeeping and guest room cleaning, where I successfully managed tasks such as floor cleaning, dishwashing, kitchen maintenance, garbage disposal, laundry, and dusting.
Moreover, I have culinary abilities that range from ingredient handling to mastering basic cooking techniques. My practical experience in the hospitality industry stems from my student years when I worked in a restaurant for approximately one year, fulfilling roles as both a server and a food runner.
Additionally, I've actively engaged in DIY projects. For instance, I collaborated with friends on painting walls during shared rentals, demonstrating my commitment to enhancing living spaces, even if the final results weren't always picture-perfect.Age
