Travelling
Our next destination:
Osaka, Japan - from Aug 2025 until Sep 2025 View all
Description
From Edinburgh in Scotland. I have used Workaway previously in 2017 to volunteer in a dog shelter in Thailand & an expat community cinema in Cambodia. Both very good experiences.
Resurrected an old profile, so some of the pictures are a bit out of date. Travel plans at the moment are fairly flexible - if I've messaged you I'll give more context/information.
Andrew -
I'm probably fairly typical for a Scottish person in the sense that I'm fairly laid back, have a dry sense of humour and am probably too sarcastic sometimes.
If there are any subjects that you could get a good conversation out of me about it's probably got to be - travel, PC gaming, music or languages.
Anna -
I would say I'm a very creative person generally. In my free time I enjoy drawing, sewing, baking and learning new skills. I have a real love of animals and plants - my Mother isn't happy about having to look after my 50+ house plants while I'm away :D. I've spent the last year helping out my family with different projects - renovating and keeping their houses & gardens up to shape.
I'm fairly introverted so I won't be causing any chaos and I enjoy a good bit of peace and quiet out in nature.
If there are any subjects that you could get a good conversation out of me about it's probably got to be - textiles, plants, animals and anything nature related.

Russian: BeginnerMore details about my language interests
Andrew - I speak English as my native language, and due to my profession in Financial Services I can also help with Business English if need be. I also speak broken/informal decent German from having a few German friends and visiting Germany. I have just started learning Russian, and would very much love to get the chance to start speaking it, albeit poorly 😅 Anna - I speak English as my native language, and through being half Swedish I would say I'm conversationally fluent in Swedish, however I probably wouldn't pass a Swedish exam :D

More details about your skills
Andrew - having worked in a car garage when I was younger I have an okay level of general knowledge/ability when it comes to things a bit more manual labour. Can use a few tools etc, and with working in Financial Services in my adult life I'm not too bad with computers and general customer service things as well.
Anna - I used to live on a farm in the west of Scotland, so am fairly accustomed to the lifestyle and all the trappings that come along with it. I actually enjoy gardening and have been doing so for my grandparents for the last 4 years alongside fixing and general odd jobs around their house. I have a degree in weaving and an interest in textiles.
