Description

Hello!
I am Eleonora. I live and work in London, but in April 2024 I am taking a loooong break to travel and volunteer. I am going all the way from the UK to Japan mostly by train, a few buses and ferries.
This trip has been my dream for many years now, and I am so excited about all the beautiful places to explore and the wonderful people I'll meet. I think that travelling is the best way to fulfil your life and when I travel I always try to experience the place, people and culture of where I am.
Workaway will be the best opportunity for me to be part of the local culture, meet friendly and open-minded people and do little trips around Japan (and on my way there).
I am quite creative, I studied Animation at university and currently work as a Visual Effects artist. However I am really into art in general, I love all kinds of music, but I also enjoy movies, books and comics.
I love nature and animals, things that I have been missing in London, that's why I would love to do some gardening, take care of animals and just being surrounded by nature! I have been vegetarian for many years now.
There is also another long-term goal I'd like to achieve, as in a few years I have the dream to have my own self-sufficient farm and I want to learn now skills that I will need in the future.

I also have a basic knowledge of Japanese and would like to improve it.

*I don't have a driving license and would appreciate a bike or to be in a place accessible with public transport.
