Descrição

Hi! I am Cát Linh and I was born in Northern California. After a life changing study abroad experience in Mexico while I was in college, I decided to move to Vietnam to reconnect with my culture and understand my family's story. I lived there and taught English to children of all different ages in 3 different schools, one being one of the first Waldorf schools in Vietnam.

I love connecting with people through stories and laughs, learning new languages, cooking, sewing, reading, and teaching. In America I worked fulltime as a preschool teaching assistnant and part time as a bike mechanic at a community bicycle repair shop where we teach people to fix their own bike.

Now I am travelling to different countries to volunteer and learn about organic farming. I would like to learn how to live a more sustainable life so I can have the tools and resources to help people and create more food security in my community. Food is extremely important to me. To share a meal is to share a ritual, create a connection between cultures, to build a bridge...Im passionate about cooking and learning new ways of eating in different cultures from people I meet.

I strive to be kind, thoughtful, considerate, and respectful. I am always willing to share, help, and do the best I can. I am community lead and believe in international solidarity.

Right now I am learning and practicing Non Violent Communication and mindfulness meditation.

I have many skills to share and I love sharing them with others by way of teaching. I can teach sewing by hand or machine, crochet, knitting, mending, darning, cooking, bicycle repair, and Vietnamese or English. I used to be proficient in Spanish but its not as good anymore. I would love to practice again!:)

I have experience in weeding, mulching, composting, harvesting, digging, and not afraid of manual labor in the sun! I am interested in learning more about planting vegetables from seed and how to prune trees.

Lastly, I believe in creating friendships wherever I go, and I hope to create deep, meaningful relationships that foster a global community.

I hope to connect soon! Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me!

Quais são suas habilidades?

Hi! I am Cát Linh and I was born in Northern California. I now live in Santa Cruz, in a beautiful area that is a 10 minute walk away from the beach. I love connecting with people, learning new languages, cooking, sewing, reading, and teaching. In my free time I work part time as a bike mechanic at a community bicycle repair shop, go skateboarding with my friends, and cook elaborate meals with my loved ones. I am kind, thoughtful, considerate, and respectful. I am always willing to share, help, and do the best I can. I have also been told I have an infectious laugh, so I hope we can laugh together!

My passion is teaching and I am obsessed with language. I got my bachelors in Linguistics and UC Santa Cruz and my dream is to become an ESL teacher for children and adults alike. I currently teach as an instructional aide in a AMI certified Montessori preschool. Seeing students use the tools they are learning and finding who they are through the process is what motivates me - educating others is a community practice that I believe is an integral component to creating peace.

I want to travel to Vietnam to visit the land where my family is from and connect with my culture, which I did not get to experience living in the US. Family is extremely important to me and I would like to learn Vietnamese more to talk to them. I am eager to learn anything I can about the country my ancestors are from.

I have so many skills to share and I am extremely confident in my self. I would be happy to travel to you and help your dreams come to fruition. I believe in creating community wherever I go. Working together is how we will flourish!

I hope to connect soon! Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me!

Algo mais...

I am a textile artist and I love to create clothing, bags, jewelry, embroidery, patchwork, sashiko stitching, mending, crocheted dolls and purses.

I started learning how to sew last year and that has been a great outlet for my creativity and focus.

I have taught a crochet class at my town's community center as well as a mountain of friends how to crochet.

I love bicycling and have recently gotten into the thrill of mountain biking. I also have been skateboarding now for four years, and it is one of my favorite things to do when the sun is out.
