Hey, I'm Thomas, 24 years old guy from France and preparing a WHV. I'd be happy to discuss anything, hang out and maybe explore Japan together !!
My next destination:
Japan - from Nov 2023 until Oct 2024 View allDescription
Hello !
My name is Thomas, I am a 24 years old guy from France and I am planning on enjoying a Working Holiday Visa in Japan, starting in November. I have already been to Japan once, before COVID, in 2019, so I am really eager to see the country again. I like it a lot there, the people, the views, the food....
Back home in France, I have lived in Paris (which I dislike) and Nîmes, which is in the South of France (which I love very much :D).
From November 2021 to July 2022, I have travelled around the world on 3 continents !! My itinerary was like this : Spain -> Colombia -> Mexico -> Brazil -> USA -> Thailand -> Vietnam -> India. Until I arrived in Thailand, I travelled with a very dear childhood friend, so I have experience travelling alone and with someone.
I did two volunteer jobs through Workaway during this trip : one in Colombia in a language school and another one in the USA in a house construction project.
Except for this adventure, I have travelled a lot to many countries : Canada, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Portugal... And many more to come I hope ! (I am aware that it's not very eco-friendly :-( )Interests
