Beschreibung

Hi! We’re Emma and Robbie – a Scottish couple travelling through Japan on a year-long working holiday visa (valid until January 2026).

Since early March, we've been working at a guesthouse in Gunma, helping with a wide range of tasks including preparing and serving breakfast, barista work, cleaning and setting up guest rooms, checking in guests, and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We’ll be here until the end of May and are now looking for our next Workaway opportunity from July onwards.

Although we can legally work in Japan, we’re also hoping to explore other parts of Asia during our year away – including South Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand.

We’re both 31 with life and work experience - we are reliable, responsible and easy-going. We love the energy of cities and towns and we also love being outdoors – hiking, cycling, and swimming. We have a big appreciation for art, design, food, and culture.

We enjoy hands-on, practical work and are happy to help with a wide range of tasks. We both love practical, hands-on jobs, working outdoors, working with animals and working with people in customer service roles.

I’m a creative person with a background in design, making, and community work. I ran my own design and craft business for over seven years, building skills in branding, content creation, social media, photography, and website design. You can see some of my work on Instagram: @_studioemma.

Before coming to Japan, I worked for a community arts organisation helping to develop creative projects and sustainable income streams. I set up and managed a community café, where I was hands-on making food, crafting coffee, and serving customers. I have worked with diverse community groups and individuals, and I have a qualification in counselling skills.

I’m a practical and reliable person with over a decade of experience in hospitality, property management, and customer service. I’ve worked in and managed bars, hostels, and student accommodation, gaining strong skills in guest services, operations, maintenance, and safety management (fire, food, and health safety).

I enjoy problem-solving and getting stuck into physical tasks, especially when it involves fixing, building, or maintaining things.

I’m also a musician and have toured internationally in bands!
