Hi, I'm Sayo, Japanese traveller aged 28 :)
I enjoy meeting new people and look forward to gaining new experience and fun times from this workaway. I am also very happy to share my experience as horticulturist :)
After finishing highschool in Japan, I was in Perth, Australia for 2 years studying Horticulture. And worked in New Zealand for the last 5 years at a Wholesale plant nursery looking after herbs and annuals. Later at Certified Organic Vegetable Farm in Christchurch as a packhouse manager and Harvesting assisstant.
Since I obtained a permanent residency in NZ last year, I decided now is the chance to go out and see the world!! I have not travelled to many countries yet and my travelling experience has just started :)
My interests does not just include plants but also taking walks and hikes, doing crafts, croche and cooking with people. In New Zealand I have done many day hikes/ overnight hikes and loves to be in nature!
I also love animals, especially dogs. I also have 10 years experience of horse riding when I was younger.
Note: I'm allergic to alcohol so I wont be able to consume any but won't say no to a tea time!!
I look forward to meeting you all ;)Languages
