Description

We are a married couple who are travelling to Japan to try and see and experience as much as we can, and are eager to meet new people along the way! We have been together for 8 years, and originally met and worked together for many seasons at an outdoor centre in the UK. We love being outside and aren’t afraid to get stuck in with a whole range of tasks, we have experience in working a variety of different rolls from hospitality, admin, farm work, outdoor instruction and retail. We are looking for seasonal work that allows us to experience living and working in wonderful places, to see incredible landscapes and immerse ourselves in new cultures.

What else ...

We love spending our time doing sports and activities outside, but for cosy evenings in we are always up for a board game or two, (Catan is a favourite!)
We have loved our previous workaway experiences because they have enabled us to meet a variety of people from all over the world, and both share our skills and hobbies with them, as well as learn new things along the way. We love to share our passions for the outdoors and outdoor activities with others, so are always up for a few ski runs or a fun day hike with likeminded people!
