Charmaine Yip

Hello! I’m Charmaine and I am a Canadian who has lived abroad since 2012. Currently, I am in-between Hong Kong and Toronto, while working in the education sector.

Over the past few years, I have lived across three continents. During my third year of university, I left home for the first time and embarked on a study exchange to Singapore. When I graduated, I went to Quebec (a French region in Canada) and Paris to teach English to French students. After picking up some French and wanting a change, I decided to land in Hong Kong! I love exploring the city, meeting new people, and learning new skills.

This blog is a collection of my experiences living in these cities as well as tips and advice to help you live abroad successfully. I want to take the things I have learned and provide them as a valuable resource for you! I have been through those language and cultural barriers and know exactly how hard it can be!

So what are you waiting for? Let’s start sharing our experiences together!
