Description

🇯🇵 About Me

Hi! I’m Yuri, a 21-year-old student from Japan currently studying Global Studies at Monash University Malaysia.

Living abroad has taught me how to adapt to new environments, communicate with people from different backgrounds, and become more independent. I’m calm, open-minded, and easy to get along with, and I enjoy meeting new people and learning from different cultures.

🌏 Interests & Lifestyle

I enjoy travelling, cultural exchange, running, swimming, and playing the piano.

One of my favorite parts of travelling is experiencing everyday life beyond tourism. I enjoy learning about local traditions, trying new foods, and understanding how people live in different parts of the world.

Living in Malaysia has given me the chance to meet people from many countries, which has made me even more curious about different cultures and ways of life

🛠 Skills & Experience

I can help with cleaning, organizing, basic cooking, gardening, and general household tasks.

I’m physically active and happy to help with outdoor work, carrying items, or tasks that require stamina. I am also comfortable communicating in English and working in multicultural environments.

🤝 What I Bring

I am reliable, respectful, and always willing to learn new skills.

Through Workaway, I hope to contribute positively while learning from local communities and sharing experiences together. I believe cultural exchange happens best through everyday life, working together, and helping one another.
