Descripción

Hi, I’m Christy, nice to meet you!

I’m 22 years old and I grew up in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 , but I moved to the UK 🇬🇧 6 years ago. I just graduated from university in London with a degree in Computer Science, and I’m currently taking a gap year before starting work in August. I love learning about different cultures (especially history), exploring new places, and meeting new people, so I really want to make the most of this year through travel and meaningful experiences.

My dream destination is Spain! I’ve always been fascinated by the Spanish language and I’m really curious to learn more about Spanish culture and everyday life. I’ve been learning Spanish for 10 years and my dream is to become fluent one day. I also love languages in general and I’m always happy to share my knowledge of English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.

Outside of languages, I love running. I recently ran the Lanzarote Marathon and I enjoy running in new places because it’s one of my favourite ways to explore a city. I also like trying new activities (I recently picked up tennis), and I enjoy creative hobbies like crocheting and scrapbooking.

I’d love to stay with hosts who enjoy cultural exchange and sharing local life, and I’m excited to help out and share my own culture! Below are some ways I can help out :)

Languages: English, Cantonese & Mandarin (native), Spanish (intermediate)

Childcare: I grew up with two much younger brothers (8 and 13) and I have been a babysitter

Teaching / tutoring: I tutored maths to middle school students and I ran a Computer Science club for 6–9 year olds at a local primary school

Tech / digital support: I volunteer as a web designer for a charity and I have good knowledge of Computer Science

I have been learning Spanish for 10 years and I absolutely love the language! I would love to be able to practise it. I'm also interested in French and Italian which I have some knowledge of. I am also very happy to help you practise English, Mandarin or Cantonese, all of which I speak fluently.
