Description

Bonjour, Hello, Konnichiwa

I am French, I am 24 years old.
For several years, I've wanted to go to Japan in order to live an enriching personal experience, as much on the human level as on the cultural and environmental level. I have a strong attraction to the Japanese culture, especially for its traditions and history !
As a child, I grew up with the masterpieces of the great Hayao Miyazaki but also with anime such as Naruto, Fruits Basket and many others. Through the various films, people I met and information I got, I discovered a mentality, an innovation and rules of manners that fascinate me and that I would like to see more closely. I am also very sensitive to the landscapes, the cults and the respect given to nature. Art is another aspect that touches me (Hasui, Kitagawa, Foujita) but I also enjoy tasting their various culinary recipes (Ramen, Okonomiyaki, Dorayaki)!

I am very excited to participate to a woofing, to be able to help, meet and learn in a natural environment motivates me a lot ! For several months, I have been taking Japanese lessons to allow me to experience the local population and to promote exchanges that I could not have with English language lonely.

See you soon I hope :)

More details about your skills

I had several opportunities to live with the "means of the edge", in a tent in the forest without heating or electricity. I have a great sensitivity to everything that concerns nature, animals but also human: I share values of solidarity, respect and mutual aid and like to go on adventures, to discover, to invent, to create! Moreover, I show initiative and resourcefulness.
Over the past few years, I have gained experience in:
- food service (as a waitress),
- Psychological and addictive care (I am psychologist),
- I know how to use Microsoft Office and Mac,
- I learn Japanese for several months in order to maximize the discovery of the country and the exchanges with the inhabitants,
- I practice piano, painting, cooking and Yoga which are activities in which I blossom a lot and I would be delighted to share them with you!
