Descripción
Hello there :)
I'm just a girl looking for an adventure.
Born in Shanghai, raised in Singapore and Vancouver - I'm lucky to have been exposed to travel from a young age, and hope to explore more of the world. So far I have travelled to parts of Southeast-Asia (Malaysia, Indonesia), Europe (France, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, Spain) and road-tripped in the US (Washington and Oregon state), and while I thoroughly enjoyed the experiences, I'm looking for something a bit more off the beaten path - to really delve into the local culture, meet people, share stories, create something meaningful - and that's where Workaway comes in.
My background is in Environmental Science and Psychology. I just returned home from teaching English in Japan for 8 months, and it was one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. While the work was challenging at times, it helped me to learn a lot about myself and even overcome (to a great extent) my fear of public speaking, and I will never forget all the good times I shared with my adorable, amazing students. I've also worked in customer service, childcare, administrative work, as well as 2 years at an Environmental startup company, where I learned to work with my hands, be covered in dirt and grime (really!), and made some of my best lifelong friends.
Some of my interests include: foreign languages (I'm teaching myself Italian and Japanese), writing, music, art, reading,... Quiet spaces close to nature - trails in the forest or the beach - cobbled streets, quaint museums, old buildings full of history and culture. I love to explore and contemplate. Fitness and working out is another passion of mine. I consider myself quite fit and strong, and I engage in meditation and yoga regularly. I enjoy healthy eating and can cook some simple fare (mostly Chinese), and I would love to learn recipes from around the world.

I mostly helped with renovation work in the rooms (Sarah is an expert!), as well as helping with meal prep and playing with the kitten. The work was manual but not… read more
