About me

I left my homeland in 2005.
Since then, notably, i spent nine years in China. I got lots of stories and observations to tell and experience !
I arrived in the Philippines in March 2020, the time is to move on.
I am very curious, inquisitive ; i love to learn new ways to do, to make things, new knowledge, and do learn easily.
Versatile, what i do is well done ; wherever i go to/stay in becomes yet cleaner, yet more peaceful.
My social personality is, in general, rather reserved, quiet. But i love to communicate and to celebrate when needed.
Education :
1- I got many jobs teaching English, to Chinese High School and college grades (also in Viet Nam).
2- In Canada in particular, i worked in the food industry (--> groceries, restaurants, bakeries etc.), i see myself passionate, quite motivated and able.
Lastly, as i grew up in the country side, i am familiar with :
3- keeping a garden or plantation in good condition (watering, trimming, weeding etc.).;
4- building : i know how to handle tools (such as an hand drill) so to make simple furniture, to improve or repair buildings, in wood particularly.
