Hello, my name is Dolly Yang. I am a full time Subject Librarian at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David and a part time PhD student at the University College London researching on the history of therapeutic exercises in medieval China. I am a vegetarian and love classical music. I live in a passive solar house with a beautiful organic garden in west Wales with my partner who is a classical composer.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I was on a sugar-free diet for 40 days for the lent this year and it has some incredible effect on me both physically and mentally.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I am a professional librarian so I teach information literacy skills as part of my job. I am also a qualified Reflexologist and have been giving treatments to friends and family for the past 8 years. I practice qigong exercises, particularly the ones from ancient Chinese medical and self-cultivation texts which I have been translating for the last four years as part of my PhD research at UCL. I l speak Chinese and English fluently and can communicate in Welsh as I am working in a Welsh university. At the moment, I am also learning Italian.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Happy to share any of my skills and knowledge with my hosts particularly if you are interested in Chinese medicine and therapeutic exercises.
