Description
Hi there! My name is Hiro, I’m from Japan.
Starting this October, I’ll be traveling around the world for about 500 days beginning in Taiwan, then heading through Southeast Asia, Oceania, Africa, Europe, and South America.
What truly motivates me is meeting people from different backgrounds, learning about their cultures, values, and stories, and sharing meaningful moments together. I believe that every encounter can teach us something new.
I’m happiest when I’m connecting with people, exploring nature, and learning through experiences.
I value simple, genuine, and warm communication, but I also appreciate comfort and creating a cozy, welcoming space for everyone.
I’m independent, tidy, and respectful of others’ space.
I don’t smoke, and I always try to bring positive energy wherever I go.
For me, Workaway is not just about exchanging work for a stay.
It’s about sharing life, culture, and kindness🌏
