Description

Hi! I am Shun, currently studying at a university in Japan.

I spent most of 2025 travelling in New Zealand using Workaway and loved the idea of the platform, sharing and exchanging various cultures.

My interests include outdoor activities, traveling , trying new cuisine, seeing new people, and learning about different cultures. I am happy to tackle any outdoor tasks and also share my food if the ingredients are available.

My plan for summer 2026 is to travel Europe for a short period of time and I am hoping to gain another Workaway experience.

I'm looking forward to seeing wonderful hosts and Workawayers, learning from them, and sharing my experience with them.

I spent superb three weeks at Freya's place. It was perfect to stay there in autumn, where we could harvest many kinds of vegetables and fruits like apples, tomatoes, potatoes among others.

The surroundings were calm and quiet with nice nature, which was ideal for me. I especially enjoyed resting on a hummock in the bush on my days off:D

Adam and Fran are both incredibly kind and welcoming. I enjoyed working in their garden and on the farm, and I hope the bananas and sugarcanes we planted will thrive in the future.

Fran is an excellent cook and I enjoyed a variety of delicious meals during my stay, and Adam is intelligent and always fun to talk to. Hearing the story of their life … read more

I had an amazing three weeks with Dale and John in Makarau. They are both kind and easy going people, who welcomed me like a family member and invited me to join their family events.

My tasks involved protecting plants on the bank, feeding chickens, and cleaning the house, all of which were manageable.
We talked and laughed a lot, and enjoyed … read more

I stayed with Aaron and Rachel for four weeks and helped them with various exciting tasks, including building fences, planting trees and feeding cows. They also taught me how to solve the 4x4 and 5x5 Rubik's cube, which I really enjoyed.

The cabin I stayed in was comfortable and the view of Mount Taranaki from their place was stunning.

Shuntaro was a very valuable member of our Workaway team during the five weeks he was with us on our orchard. He was quite happy to climb ladders and trees to achieve the results we were looking for, getting rid of dead wood and creepers from the many places they were growing. He also was adept at lawnmowing, leaf raking and water blasting!

He … read more

She was very intelligent, experienced, and gave me a lot of advice. Thanks to her, I went through personal growth steps.
