Simone (2015-2016 Canada)
Q: Where do you come from?
A: I was born and raised in Hong Kong.
Q: When did you go on your working holiday?

Q: Where did you go for your working holiday and why?
A: I joined a working holiday program in Canada because I have always been attracted to their natural beauty.
Q: What kinds of jobs did you do, and what kinds of courses did you take during your working holiday?
A: I worked as a salesperson in a fashion boutique as well as a call center representative in a travel and concierge company. I also had a free Korean class organized by the Korean Consulate in Canada for three months.
Q: Tell us one of your most unforgettable memories in your working holiday.
A: There are many unforgettable memories to be honest. I was very impressed by how the whole city reacted when their sports teams advanced to the next tier – cars were honking, people were cheering, flags were being waved, which is very different from ours.
Q: What is the greatest reward you have got from your working holiday?
A: In Hong Kong, it is difficult to live independently with high cost of living. Let alone a slow paced life since Hong Kong is all about efficiency. Living in Canada allowed me to experience what it is like to live alone and maintain a work-life balance.
