Descripción
Hello all! I am currently taking a year (or more!) between school and work to travel around South East Asia.
I am a third-culture kid who grew up in Hong Kong and spent summers visiting family in the US and Canada. I also spent four amazing years attending university at a small liberal arts school in Squamish B.C.
I am quite adventurous, and you'll usually find me off on a big hike or swimming if there are any lakes/oceans nearby. I am also a big lover of poetry, literature, and reading - so I'm often nose-deep in a book or writing something about my experiences.
This is my third year volunteering with Workaway - I've already had a range of wonderful experiences and I'm looking forward to more!

I had a great time with Sara helping around, she is very independent and also an experienced worker. Whenever I applied any task to her, she could finish it properly like a veteran. Sometimes I feel so sorry that I worked too serious and had too many works to be done by myself. So most of the time I can't join our lovely Asian team. But I did find… read more

I had a wonderful 2 weeks here, and I wish I could have stayed longer.
The work schedule was typically ~2-3 hours in the morning, and ~2 hours in the late afternoon. The work was pretty fun - I did a mix of harvesting kale, weeding, fertilising and planting.
Steven was very accommodating, he lent me some heavy duty rain gear as the rain jacket… read more

Sara was just so great to have at my place! She is an excellent worker, and was always on top of things and looking ahead which made for such a good work flow. Sara is a total team player, always patient and kind and works well with others.

I stayed with Tina for just under 1 week and overall had a great time! Tina is incredibly friendly, down-to-earth and a welcoming host. Off-grid, simple living was a new experience for me - and I really appreciated the time away from my phone and civilisation.

Thank you Sara for helping us out during our wet spring push in the gardens! Sara is a strong, capable, talented young woman with some VERY creative drawing skills :) which impressed the youngest member of our family! She was super easy to get along with, helpful and independent. The fact she loves dogs really helped and 'Lita already misses her… read more

I stayed with Sue and Jeff for two and a half weeks, and it was a great experience. I did some path building, gardening, landscaping and cabana painting. The work was very straightforward and mostly relaxed and fun. I usually found myself starting work around 10, taking a break for lunch from 1-2 and finishing work around 4. Sue always took care… read more

This was my first workaway experience and I had such an amazing time! I was originally going to stay for 4 weeks but I ended up staying 5. Everyone was extremely welcoming and I felt really comfortable staying there. I am vegan and they always made sure to have a vegan option for me, even going out of their way to make a vegan dessert for me… read more
