Descripción

Hi, I am Sylvia from Singapore. I enjoy travelling and meeting people from different countries and backgrounds. I also like to learn and experience new things. After many years in the corporate world, I am now excited to explore meaningful, hands-on experiences that connect me more deeply with animals, people, and new cultures.

I have a deep love for dogs and animals — I raised a Shih Tzu and a West Highland White Terrier from puppies to 16.5 and 17 years old respectively. During my time working in Hong Kong, I also volunteered at a local dog rescue shelter — an experience that deepened my love for animals and strengthened my commitment to their care and wellbeing.

Although I have never lived on a farm, I am responsible, hardworking, observant, and always eager to learn. I am comfortable taking initiative and treating every task with great care and respect.

Beyond working with animals, I am also very interested in Workaway opportunities that offer cultural and language exchange. I am very open-minded, outgoing and friendly. I enjoy learning new languages and immersing myself in different ways of life. I believe every exchange is an opportunity to broaden perspectives, build meaningful connections, and grow personally.

I would be happy to help with dog care, general farm work, household support, language practice, or any tasks needed. I am independent, reliable, and positive — and I look forward to contributing, learning, and experiencing the authentic spirit of every place I visit.

Do feel free to ask me any questions and I am more than happy to share more with you.
Thank you for considering me!

Que habilidades tienes?

I grow up in Singapore and studied both English and Chinese as first languages since I was a child, so I am highly proficient in both languages.
I am also good in Maths and accounting.
I work as a risk management consultant for many years, so I am skilled in designing and implementing practical procedures to manage business operations effectively and efficiently too. I can share my previous work experiences via my LinkedIn account if you would like to understand more.
I am responsible and enjoy work that needs organizing skills, be it in the office or at home.

Sylvia è stata a casa nostra solo per dieci giorni. Per noi l'obiettivo della sua permanenza era puramente uno scambio culturale e direi che abbiamo colpito appieno l'obiettivo! Non sapevo quasi nulla della cultura di Singapore e del territorio: Sylvia ha raccontato vari aneddoti e tradizioni che mi sono sembrati molto interessanti e sicuramente … read more

Sylvia came together with Stephane. They both stayed for only one week and fit in perfectly with my farm live. They also got along very well with Anna, the other WAer. What a great WA-Dream Team that was!

I was at Fanny's place for a week. Fanny is a very communicative and understanding host. She has a nice farm and house. Fanny's dog, Merlin, is very fun and is always up for a ball game. There were 3 workawayers at the same time, Anna, Stephane and me. We got along well and had a great time with Fanny. We had cultural exchanges, went sightseeing … read more
