Description

***LOOKING FOR GREAT HOSTS FOR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER***

*******ONLY JAPAN*******
I am working in a hostel in Sendai right now :)

My name is Miriam, and I am a Spanish woman living in Ireland, where I have been working as a Kindergarten Teacher since July 2023. Although I am happy with my life here, I think it is time for a change—a BIG one. This will be my very first time being a Workawayer, and I couldn’t be more excited to use this amazing platform to go to Japan, my dream destination.

Long story short: I had my WHV ready to use in March 2020, but Covid happened, so it got cancelled (yes, I can get a new one). Time flies, and I started 2025 saying this would be the year I go to Japan.

I’ve always been interested in Japanese culture. Like many others, I started by watching anime and immediately fell in love with the language. Now I am more interested in architecture, food, fashion, and the people. I feel that there is no better experience than living in a country for a long time and learning about it first-hand. I would love to do community work, help a family with kids, or assist in a local shop or guesthouse/onsen while discovering local culture, shrines, and savouring local street foods. I’m passionate about sharing experiences and exchanging knowledge. We can truly learn from one another :)
And, of course, any host that gives me opportunities to practise my Japanese will be more than welcome!

I'm looking for hosts all around Japan for around two months so I can explore different cities and areas.

I'm very looking forward to meeting you!
Thank you!
