Descrição
Hi,
I am a new solo traveller but am really interested in volunteering alongside my travels! It would be great to give back to small communities and share my knowledge and experiences with various individuals, whether it be through creativity, English teaching or life skills. I have a scientific background so it would be very exciting to bring that with me everywhere I go! I also do personal tutoring which has cultivated my teaching skills and I am keen to expand this beyond the UK. I enjoy meeting new people and understanding different cultures too.

This experience was amazing and was very well organised. I stayed with Ms. Van and her family for 2 weeks. I taught the younger child, Ri, for one hour a day in the evenings, but the family really valued me spending time with him to teach him English in daily conversations. We did activities such as visit the Temple of Literature, went to the… read more cinema, went shopping and even cooked dinner together one day! Ms Van is very hospitable, cooks really lovely food and even accommodated me for not eating certain things! Mr Van is also very welcoming and warm and I had some lovely conversations with him on Google translate (only the two kids speak fluent English). Grandma is very caring and kindly washed my clothes often, and refilled my water in my room. She also was always happy to see me and looked after me if I wasn't feeling well.
I loved staying with the family although it was a slight culture shock at the beginning, but I slowly got used to the routine and the free time that I had. I had my own room and bathroom which made me feel really at home. The apartment was in a very modern block of flats and part of a complex with shops, gym, pool (which I wasn't allowed to use), but it felt safe and a home-away-from-home whilst I was long-term travelling.
Outside of teaching Ri, I spent some time during the days at a kindergarten - they were very welcoming and was a good opportunity to see how it runs in Vietnam; the only barrier was language. When I was trying to help the kids, they did not understand and it felt very foreign for them. However, a lot of them warmed to me and it was a lovely way to spend time with them. I also spent some time with Ms. Tran and her kids. I went to her house twice (which is not too far from Ms Van's house by Skytrain) and had lunch with them. I also played games with Strawberry; she is a joyful girl and very energetic. I also gave some advice to her older daughter too. She took me around on her bike to watch their violin classes and we picked Strawberry up from school one day. It was lovely to spend time with Ms. Tran and learn about her history - it is amazing how ambitious she is and I admire her for gifting these opportunities to travellers who really want to delve into Vietnamese culture.
Overall, I absolutely loved this experience and I was sad to leave. Ri and I had a lot of fun together and I miss him a lot. I will definitely be back to visit the family in the next few years.
