  • Description

    Hello to my future hosts

    I'm Roxanna, originally from Taiwan (for those interested in a bit of history, she was once known as "Formosa".) Not a Thai nor Chinese!

    I'm excited to be heading to Europe in May on a Working Holiday visa for a year!

    With previous full-time experience as seasonal guest house staff and a fashion retail visual merchandiser in Ireland, I bring a strong work ethic and a keen eye for detail. My background also includes volunteering experience in hospital (Guatemala), childcare (Nepal), and education (Taiwan).

    Known for my easygoing and fun personality (INFP-T, Ravenclaw!), I enjoy painting and baking in my free time. Friends and past hosts have described me as helpful, a great team player, proactive and fun to be around.

    I'm really looking forward to immersing myself in Europe again and contributing where I can.

    If you need an extra hand in May 2025 onwards, please don't hesitate to message me! ๐Ÿ™Œ

    *2025.04*
    I'd love to see the lavender fields in Provence, attend a cheese festival in the Netherlands and drink mulled wine at a Christmas market in Germany.

    If your location allows me to easily reach these destinations without a car, please don't hesitate to contact me.
