Description

Hello everyone!

I'm Nolwenn, 27 years old French woman currently doing a working-holiday in Japan, which has been a life long dream!
I've started travelling in Europe when I was a teenager and actually never stopped haha! Travelling abroad, discovering different countries & cultures, meeting people, expanding my mindset, always exploring and discovering something new and different is something that brings meaning into my life and makes me a better human being (at least in my opinion).

I'm already a Couchsurfer and when I heard about Workaway, I decided to give it a try and I can't wait to start this new step in my personal journey!


Other than that, what can I say about myself? I love travelling (duh), I also write and draw a lot and I'm always reading a bunch of different books at the same time. I have a huge love for History (obviously) and I'm a manga nerd. Like, big time.

Anyway, I think I wrote enough already, I'll add stuff if I think of it!
