Descripción

Hi I'm Maria, I'm 29 and am an Australian national of English & Filipino descent but born and raised in Hong Kong! 😄 I've lived in England and Hong Kong and am looking to move to Australia later this year. I want to travel for a bit before then.

I'm interested in Workaway as it brings together people from different countries together in a cultural exchange. I'm excited to get to know and experience a different side of a country that the usual tourist wouldn't normally get to see.

I work in arts & cultural management in Hong Kong (namely with Asian art & antiques) and used to work in a variety of places from a range of cultural festivals in the UK, a historical Grade I listed heritage hall in a zoo, a theatre, a lifestyle magazine, etc. I nearly went into marine biology back in the day and have rediscovered my interest in wildlife and nature when I got into scuba diving and outdoor activities a while ago. Since then, I've been looking for more opportunities to tap into this and travel at the same time.

I learnt a bit of Mandarin in high school but am very rusty, I would love the chance to practice speaking it again. I took some Spanish lessons during the pandemic and would like to practice that too if I can.

I love the underwater world and am a PADI Advanced Open Water diver. I've dived in the Philippines, Hong Kong, Bali, Taiwan and the Maldives and hope to add more places to that list!
