Description
Hi there, I’m Mayuko from Japan.
Since 2019, I’ve been traveling around the world.
My journey began in Xinjiang (Uyghur Autonomous Region in western China) and followed the Silk Road to Istanbul. After that, I mainly traveled across Southeast Asia. I have also cycled around the entire island of Taiwan twice (Huándǎo). While at university, I studied abroad in the UK and traveled to several European countries.
I am currently working as a freelance web designer while traveling the world as a digital nomad.
I love exploring new cultures and learning from different ways of life. My hobbies include singing and playing the guitar, photography, collecting wildflowers, and reading. I also have experience working on farms, and I truly enjoy being in nature and doing physical work.
I am a responsible, tidy, and positive person, and I always do my best in any task I’m given. I’m currently traveling and would love the opportunity to meet wonderful people, share cultures, and contribute in any way I can.
