Buscando las oportunidades de Workaway en España!
Hola buena gente, me llamo Shoko, soy de Tokio.
Estoy planeando de viaje a España, mi pais favorito, y mejorar mi español con un Working Holiday Visa desde deciembre 2023.
I work in a travel consulting company in Tokyo specializing in luxury trips to Japan. I like working in the tourism/hospitality industry so any Workaway opportunity in the field would be fantastic! In the future, I'd love to work using three languages, Japanese, English and Spanish, and my first priority while living in Spain is to improve my Spanish. I don't have specific plan and am open to all ideas and opportunities! Any city/town in Spain where there are language schools or local welcoming communities would be nice (so maybe not in the middle of the mountains or remote countryside).
I am: fun, healthy, easygoing, open-minded, curious, minimalist, fast learner, clean, responsible and organized.
I love: to travel, learn different cultures, do yoga, cook and of course, to eat!
I have: Au pair experience (2 years in U.S.), drivers license (car and motorcycle), Thai yoga massage certificate.
I’d love to meet as many people as possible along the way which I believe will enrich my life and grow my personality.Interests

I have a bachelor degree in Health and Physical Education. Although I didn't choose my career in this field, it still helps me and others to have a healthy lifestyle.
After university, I moved to the U.S. as an aupair and took care of kids between 0 and 9 yo for two years. Love little ones and fluffy friends. And my host kids told me that I'm a good cook ;) I have also done a solo backpacking trip through Asia, Middle East and Europe for about a year and South America for 7 months. Lots of travel stories to share, for sure.
As for my career, I was a concierge at the international hotel in Tokyo where I learned quality customer services. I am interested in working in a tourism industry again in the future.
For the past few years, I worked for the Tokyo Olympic & Paralympic Games.Age
