Beschreibung
Hi! My name is Ayumi, and I’m from Japan. I’m 26 years old and excited to start a new adventure through Workaway.
I have no problem communicating in English in daily situations. I’ve studied abroad twice — in Canada for one year during junior high school, and in Australia for two months as a university student. In both countries, I stayed with host families, so I’m familiar with and comfortable in shared living environments.
After graduating from university, I worked at an NPO that runs afterschool programs for children for over three years. I planned and organized various events such as Christmas parties, Halloween activities, summer festivals, and more. I really enjoy spending time with children — they give me so much energy, and I always learn something from their curiosity and honesty.
While I was in university, I had many different part-time jobs, including:
-Working at a traditional Japanese sweets shop (serving matcha, dumplings, shaved ice, etc.)
-Teaching at a cram school
-Supporting students as a learning assistant in a junior high school
-Working in after-school programs
-Cafe and bento shop staff
-Light work at a warehouse
-Chocolate and cake shop staff
I enjoy learning new things because they help broaden my perspective and teach me more about the world and myself.
I majored in Global Japanese Studies, where we compared Japanese culture with others. I found it really interesting to discover new cultural perspectives. I also studied education and have teaching licenses for junior high and high school English in Japan.
🌸Why workaway?
I’ve always admired the mindset of many people I’ve met abroad — they tend to have strong self-esteem, love themselves as they are, and don’t compare themselves to others. I find that attitude beautiful and inspiring. I believe that by living among people like that and sharing daily life together, I can grow and become a more open-hearted and positive person.
Through Workaway, I want to communicate with many people, learn from their values, and discover what makes each person unique and wonderful.
My hobbies include:
-Baking
-Cooking
-Yoga
-Sewing
-Taking walks
-Playing musical instruments
-Feeling and connecting with nature
*All the food, sweets, and artwork in my photos are made by me!
Thank you for reading my profile. I'm really looking forward to meeting kind people, helping out in any way I can, and having meaningful experiences through Workaway!

I worked for over 3 years at an NPO that offers afterschool programs for children. I planned and led seasonal events such as Christmas parties, summer festivals, and Halloween events. I also worked as a cram school teacher and a learning support assistant at a junior high school. I enjoy spending time with children and can confidently support their activities and learning.
・Hospitality / Customer Service
I have experience working at various shops, including a traditional Japanese sweets café, a chocolate shop, and a cake shop. These jobs helped me develop hospitality and customer service skills, including serving food, handling customers, and maintaining a clean environment.
・Cooking & Baking
I love cooking and baking in my free time and have experience preparing meals and sweets both at home and in work environments. I can cook Japanese-style home meals and am happy to help in the kitchen or prepare meals for others.
・Household Tasks
I’m used to cleaning, organizing, and helping with general chores. I’ve also worked in a warehouse doing light labor, so I’m comfortable with physical work.
・Language & Communication
I have a teaching license for junior high and high school English in Japan. I’m fluent in Japanese and can communicate in English without issues in everyday situations.
・Creativity & Crafts
I enjoy sewing, doing yoga, playing instruments, and creating things with my hands. I'm happy to join or lead creative or mindful activities if needed.
