Description
Hello folks!Konitiwa🇯🇵
My name is Shuhei and I'm planning to travel for more than one year in American and African continents from June 2023, thus passionately hoping to encounter nice people with various backgrounds and learn about the cultures and ways of thinking.
I have done many kinds of volunteer activities such as farm work in Fukushima, babysitting, refugee assistance in NGO, Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics village.
Looking forward to becoming part of your community!:)
-----My history, very briefly↓-----

An ordinary Joe who'd never been abroad.
・17 years old
My first international trip to Taiwan with money I earned at sushi restaurant, my suitcase disappeared on the first day, realising the joy of travel abroad.
・18 years old

・23 years old
Working at a small staffing company for hydropower plants abroad, learning basic electricity in a country where a half of employees are Pakistani.
・24 years old-present
Engaged in the refugee assistance in Tokyo, I was supposed to do my master in Sweden or Belgium but things didn't work out.
A movie called "Secret life of Walter Mitty" made me realise I am not living for working and inspired me to travel.
So, I have decided to take a gap year and travel to places I never visited.
