Description

Hello! I’m Natsuki from Japan.

I graduated from university this March, where I studied international affairs, religion, and philosophy. During my studies, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Hawaii, which broadened my horizons and gave me a deep appreciation for different cultures.

While at university, I discovered a love for working while traveling, and I’ve been pursuing that lifestyle ever since. Until now, I’ve mainly been traveling within Japan, but after graduating, I decided to challenge myself by exploring life and work overseas. Finland is the first country I chose because I absolutely love snow and sauna culture!

Thanks to my parents, I’ve been snowboarding since I was a child. Every winter in Japan, I worked at snow resorts and enjoyed snowboarding every day. I’m very outdoorsy and always up for a new adventure!

Sauna culture is becoming really popular in Japan too, and I’ve fallen in love with it. While I’ve experienced Finnish-style saunas in Japan, I wanted to feel the real thing with my own eyes and body — that’s what brought me here to Finland.

I also love cooking and can share authentic Japanese dishes with you! Lately, I’ve been really into making Indian curries as well. I don’t have much experience with DIY or handiwork yet, but I’m very eager to learn and happy to help however I can.

I’m really looking forward to sharing a meaningful and fun time together!
