About Judi

I am a first‑year university student from Hong Kong, and this trip is during my summer break. I would like to make good use of this time to broaden my horizons and experience daily life in Europe. I will visit London in July for my brother’s graduation and hope to find one or two host families in Europe before the ceremony. I plan to travel solo from 23/05/2026 to 15/07/2026 and would like to stay with each host for around two weeks. I enjoy listening to people’s stories, learning about different cultures, and spending time in nature and with animals (although I am afraid of snakes). I eat almost everything and am happy to try new food, but I do not handle very spicy dishes well. At home, I help with cooking and housework. I can cook simple meals, and I enjoy baking desserts, but I am more used to an electric stove than to cooking over a gas flame or real fire. I am happy to help with daily chores, gardening, or pet care (except snakes), and I am open to learning new skills. I am quiet at first, but happy to chat once I feel comfortable. I speak Chinese and English, and I learned some Portuguese during a one‑year AFS exchange in Goiânia, Brazil, where I lived with several host families. I would be glad to practise languages together—learning your language while sharing mine. I respect house rules and routines. Please explain them clearly at the beginning, because I cannot know or guess rules that have not been discussed. As there may be cultural differences, I appreciate direct communication rather than hints or indirect messages. If something is not working well, I would like us to talk openly to find a solution together. Having dinner together is important to me, as it is often the best time to share our day and get to know each other. I may need a little time to learn new tasks and to open up in a non‑native language, but I am responsible, adaptable, and always try my best.
