Description
Hi, I'm Claudia from Germany, and I recently quit my job to spend a year traveling through South Korea and Japan. More than just exploring new places, I want to fully immerse myself in the culture, experience everyday life, and build genuine connections along the way.

For the past seven years, I worked as a fashion designer while also waitressing on the side. Creativity has always been a big part of my life—I love knitting, reading, and drawing, and I’m always excited to try new things. I also enjoy playing volleyball, even if my skills leave room for improvement ;)

I’m organized, adaptable, and enjoy being around people. I’m happy to help with cooking, household tasks, or anything where an extra pair of hands is needed.

Looking forward to new experiences, meeting great people, and sharing good times!

More details about my language interests
I enjoy teaching English as long as it stays within a level I’m comfortable with. Helping others improve their language skills in a relaxed and supportive way is something I find rewarding. At the same time, I’m eager to immerse myself in new languages. For me, learning a language is an essential part of building genuine connections and truly engaging with a different culture. I love picking up new words and expressions that help me understand people and their way of life better.

More details about your skills
With a background in fashion design, creativity and problem-solving come naturally to me. I have an eye for detail, enjoy working with my hands, and love bringing new ideas to life. Whether it’s crafting, sewing, or other creative projects, I’m always happy to help.

Beyond design, I have several years of experience in hospitality, where I developed strong organizational skills, learned to work well under pressure, and became comfortable interacting with people from all walks of life. I also have experience in travel coordination, ensuring smooth schedules and handling logistics to make sure everything runs seamlessly—so planning and adapting on the go are second nature to me.

I’m also a passionate home cook and love preparing meals for others. Whether it’s trying out new recipes or helping with everyday cooking, I’m always up for spending time in the kitchen.

Being adaptable, reliable, and eager to learn, I’m happy to assist wherever needed and always bring a positive attitude to any task!

In short:
 I wholeheartedly recommend staying with Megumi-san ;)
Now the longer version: 
Staying with Megumi-san and her family was a truly meaningful experience. During those three months, I didn’t just find a host—I found a second family. Megumi-san, her husband, and their wonderful kids welcomed me with such genuine warmth that I felt at home… read more from day one. To me, family means love, respect, laughter, and a real sense of belonging—and that’s exactly what I experienced every single day.

Megumi-san is one of the warmest people I’ve ever met. She moves through life with so much love and charm—not just for her own family, but for every Workawayer who walks through her door. She’s incredibly organized without being rigid, creating structure while keeping everything calm and flowing. No matter how busy she gets, she always has time to listen, to smile, and to make everyone feel truly seen. I learned so much just by watching her—how she balances strength and gentleness so easily.

Papa-san (yes, we called him Papa :D) is such a kind and loving person who adores his children. Even though he was busy with work and we couldn’t talk much because of the language barrier, I always felt comfortable and welcome around him. He and Megumi-san make such a great team—so balanced and supportive in everything they do, from parenting to juggling all their responsibilities.

The kids—Sore, Sera, and Miku—are absolutely precious. I was lucky enough to connect with them right away, and every moment was filled with joy: singing and dancing to Anpanman songs and, of course, “You’re Welcome”, playing games, coloring, or laughing together when they turned into “spaghetti monsters” at dinner time. My favorite memories are when they’d come running toward me with their arms wide open, shouting my named wanting a hug—something I’ll never forget and already miss so much.

Life in the house was always filled with warmth and connection. I met so many wonderful Workawayers, each with their own story, and we shared everyday life together—cooking lunch, exploring the city, visiting onsens, and watching dating shows on Netflix in the evenings (always better with Megumi-san!).

Through this experience, I learned a lot about myself—especially through my time with the kids and that deep, almost wordless understanding I shared with Megumi-san. Sometimes you meet people who just feel like “Herzensmenschen”—those rare souls you connect with effortlessly. That’s what she is to me. (my wife ;))

I’m endlessly grateful for every memory: the BBQs, baseball games, swimming with the twins, grape picking, and of course, the unforgettable Muscle Bar.
Thank you, Megumi-san and Papa-san, for opening your home and heart to me. You’re truly one of a kind.

I wholeheartedly recommend staying with Megumi-san. Anyone lucky enough to be part of her family will experience a truly welcoming and loving home.

We had the pleasure of hosting Claudia for about three months. She is truly a wonderful woman—absolutely perfect in so many ways. The days we spent together were filled with comfort, peace of mind, and warmth. Our values aligned so well, and she treated us as if she were truly a member of our family.

From the very first day she arrived, the… read more
