About Jocelyn Li

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Jocelyn made her first solo backpacking trip through Europe while studying abroad in the UK, and has not looked back since! Now part of Workaw ... show more..., you'll most likely find her tapping away on her laptop from a café in a different city every month, gathering inspiring stories from the Workaway community, and sharing them with the world.

From volunteering on a family farm in France, visiting village schools in rural Cambodia, to playing local card games with hosts in Mongolia, Jocelyn's favourite thing about Workaway is how it creates a safe and welcoming platform for travellers to exchange cultures, explore vastly different lifestyles, and truly connect with a place by connecting with its people.
