Description

Hi ! My name is Emily and i'm 20 years old.


I would like to travel all over Japan to discover the Japanese's way of living. I'm learning japanese language and civilization with my degree. I have N4 level and soon to be N3.

Workaway is a great opportunity to me to mix to things i love the most, learning Japanese language and taking care of animals. Since i grew up with animals I'm used to cats, dogs, rabbits, goldfishs... In France i have 2 dogs and 4 cats.

When i lived without my parents during two years in Paris i did some pet-sitting in my appartement. I'm fine with house chores because i am a bit maniac (in the good way).

By the way, I'm used of giving medicines to pets when the owners cannot do it because i worked a few weeks as an assistant to the veterinary.

I actually love to go to a walk with a dog for 10KM. I find this relaxing and need to walk that much at least once a day ! I often went in the woods with my dogs for few hours and then they would sleep well !

As a conclusion i would say that you're free to contact me ;)

I hope that you will have a great day !

More details about your skills

I learn fast since i am hardworking. I want to do things well. Thanks to my parents i was always with animals so i can take care of young but also older pets. I have a driver licence so i could go if your busy to a vet appointement.

I can also detect easly some wrong being to your pet. I had few cats who had coryza for example so i know few symptoms like that. As i said before, I did pet-sitting during two years and some cats were really annoyed to be put in the cage for their transport so i know a way to put the cat without trouble.

I have enough strength to walk to dogs at the same time and to walk big dogs since my two dogs in France are different size (an Americana shepherd and a Belgian malinois shepherd).

I did some volunteering in France in an animal shelter. It was a hard work but it was worth it. I loved to help cats or dogs who were scared. I had the patience to make them trust me day by day.

To conclude, I am fluent in English (even tho it isn't my native language so i may have a french accent). I can also speak a bit japanese but to be honest, my oral comprehension isn't that good. I will do my best to improve !

What else ...

I have some interest in Japanese sociology such as the difference between Japan and France. I also love activities such as ikebana, origami, sumi-e, ukiyo-e, shodô... (even tho i am not good at it). I would like to go to matsuri and explore traditional way of living.
I like to ride horses (it's been a while since i've done it). I also like to do sport like fitness or skying. i enjoy swimming, ride a bike or walking. I prefer the countryside and if there is animals it would be awesome.
I worked in a bank few months ago so i would like to experiment again a work where i can have a good relationship with the staff and the clients.
As everyone I always crave for a good meal !
