Description
Hi.
I'm Nao, from Japan.
Now, I'm currently traveling to Canada, South America, Australia and others since Octo 2022, not rush very slowly. My direction is going to visit some countries in Oceania in this term now. My personality is positive and quiet but once I take action, I am quick. And let you know I prefer to be alone and find it very calming when I can help you what you want independently.
I would like to try new things and upgrade my experience and skills what I can do step by step. There are many things that are ordinary to you but surprising to me as a Japanese. Food, customs, education, history, etc. During spending a whole year in Australia until head of June 2025, I noticed to love doing some architecture tasks include construction and drawing. I especially like manufacturing and design, therefore, if someone have any ideas that you want to draw, I can put it on paper. I would like to help rather I can. It's pretty fun!!

What else ...
Recently, I noticed about myself, my motivation for helping.
1st prize is DIY, construction work, try to draw any plans and make a desk, a cat tree, a shelf, a sink and a greenhouse like furniture and building that made me so excited and pretty enjoy.
2nd prize is keeping things neat and tidy, Clutter gives me the urge to clean up. Because I trip or bump my heads! So, I can help you clean out your room and storage area.
As for the 3rd prize, I'm a bit more passive than the two previously mentioned, when it comes to gardening, planting, and animal care, but when I do them, I do them well and do my best.

Nao was such a fabulous workawayer! He was such a hard worker and full of energy, always! He was happy to help out wherever he could, and even created some of his own projects that he thought would be beneficial to the farm. I would definitely recommend Nao to any host!
