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! ๐
*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.Interests

Yiting is a truly artistic, passionate and energetic individual and her husband, Tomas, is a friendly and knowledgeable cheese expert. Their kids - Yoann and Lea? They're quite possibly the most well-behaved young kids I've met in all my time working with children.

James's house is very cozy, the work is very diverse, there is always a lot of opportunity to help around, and I get a fulfillment from those projects, e.g. collecting 55kgs olives in 2 hours or doing the painting!
James and Alex are very easy going and fun people. And Luna is a lovely friend๐ too.โฆ read more
