Description
Hi, I’m Yvonne from Changchun, China. It’s so nice to be back on Workaway after the pandemic.
Life has changed a lot since Covid — but in a positive way. Last year, I made a big decision to leave my job and start traveling. Along the journey, I discovered what truly makes me happy: sharing. Whether it’s staying on farms, connecting with nature, or living a slower and more mindful life, sharing experiences with people and my surroundings always makes my day.
I still clearly remember my very first farm stay when I was 19 in Australia. My English was quite limited at that time, and everything felt challenging — but it became one of my most precious memories. That experience planted the seed for my love of cultural exchange and simple living.
About me：I’m easy-going, open-minded, and respectful. I adapt easily to new environments and enjoy both meaningful conversations and quiet time. I’m quite independent, but I also enjoy being part of a team and sharing daily life with others.
What I can offer：I have previous volunteer experience on family farms and in hostels in Australia, Thailand, and China. Wherever I go, I always do my best to contribute and support the team.I enjoy cooking and would love to share Chinese homemade dishes, as well as some simple Japanese food. I also like photography and can help capture moments of daily life, your place, or ongoing projects if needed.In my free time, I enjoy practicing Qigong and meditation, which helps me stay calm, present, and balanced.
I’m not afraid of repetitive or physically demanding work, and I always try to do things carefully and responsibly.
I’d love to share, contribute, learn, and explore.

Chinese is my mother touge. English is my second language. I am able to talk most of daily topics but still working on it. I used to live in Japan for 2 years and worked for a Japanese company for 3.5 years. So Speaking and learning Japanese is more like my hobby now. About Spanish, as I have a dream to travel in south American countries. Language is the key point. So I'm learning Spanish slowly. Hope to get language partners with English, Spanish or Japanese. Meanwhile, I would like to share all the language skills I have with anyone.

More details about your skills
I studied in Jilin university about Biomedicine for 4 years in China.Biological plus medicine were not so much fun as I wished,so after graduated I became one translator-Chinese and English worked in Greece-Athens around 7 months then back to Beijing as one manager assistant-just normal and normal work.I can be a translator if you want.
Photography and mountain climbing are my favorite two things. Carrying one camera and walking on the street to memory that moment is really excited me.
I can take photos to advertising your shops,hostel or company to grab people attention.
I can also make some hand craft, especially earrings, use some nature things to create.

What else ...
I'm learning Japanese to study and work in Japan and trying my best to know this language much more.
I used to stay in Australia one month when I nineteen years old. It's been 6 years since I first time had been abroad as a volunteer.
Time flies, hope I can have more memories via workaway and figure out my own life.

The founders of the farm, Burak and Murat, were super nice and explained everything to us as much as they could. I've learned a lot from them. I'm quite fascinated by how they establish the farm from scratch and make it a commercial success. Also, other than the farm, there's a… read more
The main work is building a beautiful zome construction: the main task is to build a bee-hive-shaped waterproof exterior layer. I was so lucky with other skilled volunteers together,… read more
