Travelling through Japan!

Description

Hey, my name's Riley and my partners name is Josie! We’re a couple from Australia currently traveling through Japan on a Working Holiday Visa!

We’re both fit and healthy individuals that live a very active lifestyle. We love being outdoors spending our spare time surfing, running, hiking, gardening, diving, snowboarding, travelling, playing sport, taking photos, cooking, playing music or doing anything else that excites us!

We've both worked on farms before helping look after live stock, manage crops, servicing tools and equipment, setup irrigation systems and general property maintenance.
Our passion for farming has branched to learning more about natural, self sufficient farming methods such as permaculture, food forests and companion planting. We're both very interested in learning more about traditional farming practices while also experiencing authentic Japanese culture.

We’ve both got extensive knowledge and experience in the hospitality industry running a ski lodge and working in restaurants / cafes managing front of house duties, meal preparation, cooking, cleaning, serving and bartending. Having previous experience working in multiple small businesses has given us a good understanding of the operations involved in order to be successful.

We have both volunteered in the past on multiple occasions and love helping the community!

We’re both very reliable and diligent individuals who know how to work hard while having fun at the same time. We’re an easy going and respectful couple who are very independent and adaptable.

We'd love to join you on our next adventure!
