Description

Hello! I'm Sakura - half Japanese, half Nigerian, born and raised in Japan.
I've been traveling the world with just my backpack, curiosity, and an open heart.

Along the way, I've volunteered as a youth worker in a remote Aboriginal community in Australia (for about 10 months), worked as a tour guide assistant and cooked meals for the customers, cleaned Airbbs, helped in restaurants, and even sold my art on the street when I ran out of money😂

I also spent time volunteering on an animal farm, taking care of puppies and other animals. I really enjoyed making sure they were clean, safe, and loved — it was both healing and fulfilling.

I love working with children — it's been a dream of mine since I was little — and I care deeply about education, mental wellbeing, and creating safe, joyful spaces!

I'm passionate about nature, cooking, animals, and anything creative. I enjoy painting, basket weaving (which | learned from local women in the outback), and trying out traditional crafts wherever I go.
I'm clean, respectful, responsible, and easygoing. I'm always happy to help out, learn something new, or simply share time, meals, and stories with others.

I've met so many kind people on my journey
- and I'm always looking for ways to give back, grow, and connect😌

More details about my language interests
Yes, both! I've volunteered teaching Japanese to children from immigrant families in Japan, and I love using language as a way to connect and support others. While traveling, I also enjoy writing people's names in Japanese kanji as a way to share my culture. I'm always happy to help people learn Japanese — and l'd also love to keep learning new languages, even just simple words and phrases. Language is such a beautiful window into someone's world!
