Description
Hello! We are Josie and Bart, a French artist couple travelling to Japan with our Working Holiday Visa!
We are passionate about nature, outdoor sports and discovering new ways of living. We are joining Workaway to help people, learn new skills and experience everyday life in Japan in an authentic and meaningful way.
We are motivated, curious and not afraid to roll up our sleeves! We are open to many types of work : gardening, DIY, farming, cleaning, maintenance or general help. We love discovering new techniques and traditional skills.
As graphic and textile artists, we can also assist with creative tasks such as painting, murals, sewing, photography, video, or designing content for social media. We are comfortable with design software and can easily lend a hand with visual communication.
Bart also enjoy playing Kendama and love sharing tricks with others!
We are easy-going, respectful and excited to meet new people, help out, and learn as much as possible!
Looking forward to working with you and sharing good moments :)
