About Me

Hello the world, we are a family with two kids, 11 and 10 years old. We live in Dongguan city Guangdong province, it is a city between Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and near Hongkong. The traffic to come here is very easy.

We live in the countryside but near the downtowm of DongGuan city, about 3 km away from the downtown of the city. I can go to the Metro station to pick up you. People in my village are very kind, there are some very traditional temples and houses in my village too, if you are interesting, I can show you.

The village we live in is next to the Peal River, it the mother river of Guangdong province. Along the river, it's a very nice park, you can take a very nice hike along the river and you can see many many nice people enjoy hiking there too.

We are very kind people with lots of dreams, and very easy to get along with. The popurse to join Helpx not only asking for help but also make friends with the people who come from all over the world and help each other to know more about different culture. If you like, I can show you around my village and tell you the history and culture, customs and history about my village and DongGuan city. Me and my husband and my kids are not very good at English but our English is fluent, I think with the help of body language, we can understand each other very well.

The most help we need as following:
1. Painting. We want to paint some amazing pictures on the walls of the rooms, we have no idea what to paint, but we want to try something new, we can discuss together.
2. To be a part of our family to share skills together, no matter what kind of skills, to make the life interesting.
3. To do the house work together, like mopping floor, washing dishes.
4. Design some games for the children. Some times we invite some freinds to my home to enjoy the weekend or holidays.

Family with children, vegetarian and vegan are welcome too.
