Description
[English]
Hi I'm Tomoya who is from country side of Japan called Shiga prefecture has traditional Ninja village, Satoyama villages, biggest lake in Japan, a lots of of rice fields, and surrounded by mountains. Thank you for the travel experience, now I can speak Fluent English and Spanish.
I had been traveling, volunteering and working around the world since January 2014-2018 for 4 years. I have been many countries in Asia and Europe(crossed silkroad all the way from China to Europe by hitchhiking), and few places in Africa.
After that I had been in Spain and Latin America since May 2018 until June 2020. I was traveling around Argentina and Chile(long time in Patagonia), Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Mexico. Then I came back to Japan once, coz of Covid-19.
And now(Apr,2021→?) I left my country to travel Africa and other countries again. I had been traveling through East Africa, passed middle east, few Countries in Europe, cross border from Spain to Morocco, and crossed Western Africa countries from Morocco to South Africa.
All of this travel I had moved by hitchihiking most of the time. I have been 86 countries so far.
I think myself is friendly, easygoing and relaxed person. I can adapt different environment quite easily. But I also have adventurous personality, traveling around the world with my tent and hitchhiking, love to being in the nature and trekking(have been 6100m), camping in wildness area, cycling long distance, and visit very remote areas. I'm very curious person want to know about culture and people, also love learning languages.
On workaway, I'm looking for the cultural experience, learning, and meeting nice people while I help the places. I would love to know the culture of each areas. and explore beautiful places around. I wish could learn something new to me. I do the job with respect and responsibly.
Especially I would love to join the projects like Permaculture and Organic Farming, Bio construction, and all of works related Sustainable projects. Because I have a dream to have Permaculture farm and Guest house in Japan.
-What I'd been doing in Japan-
After I graduated university, I'd been working for 3 years at Japanese trading company that import fisheries products and cut flowers. And Every weekends I've been to beautiful mountains, rivers, and lakes to enjoy and relax in the stunning scenery of remote area. But I couldn't stop my curiosity about the world, so left my job and started this journey.
I did many various work and volunteer job in many countries on the road of 9 years.
Organic garden, looking after animals, hostel and campsite, teaching languages, art project etc..etc...
I love all the works!

Hola. Soy Tomoya desde Japón, la prefectura de Shiga tiene el pueblo tradicional de Ninja, pueblos de Satoyama, el lago más grande de Japón, muchos campos de arroz y rodeado de montañas. Gracias por la experiencia de viaje, ahora puedo hablar inglés fluido y español intermedio.
Había estado viajando, haciendo voluntariado y trabajando por todo el mundo desde enero de 2014-2018 durante 4 años. He estado en muchos países de Asia y Europa (crucé la ruta de la seda desde China hasta Europa haciendo autostop), y pocos lugares en África.
Después, estuve en España y Latinoamérica desde mayo de 2018 hasta junio de 2020. Estuve viajando por Argentina y Chile (mucho tiempo en la Patagonia), Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador, Colombia y México. Luego volví a Japón una vez.
Y ahora (abril de 2021 →?) Dejé mi país para viajar nuevamente por África y otros países. Había estado viajando por África Oriental, pasé por Medio Oriente, algunos países de Europa, crucé la frontera de España a Marruecos y crucé países de África Occidental desde Marruecos hasta Sudáfrica.
Durante todo este viaje me había movido haciendo autostop la mayor parte del tiempo. Viaje por 86 países hasta ahora.
Creo que soy una persona amigable, tranquila y relajada. Puedo adaptar diferentes ambientes con bastante facilidad. Pero también tengo una personalidad aventurera, viajando por todo el mundo con mi carpa y haciendo autostop, me encanta estar en la naturaleza y hacer trekking (han sido 6100 m), acampar en áreas salvajes, andar en bicicleta a larga distancia y visitar áreas muy remotas. Soy una persona muy curiosa que quiere saber sobre la cultura y las personas, también me encanta aprender idiomas.
En Workaway, busco la experiencia cultural, aprender y el encuentro con personas agradables mientras ayudo a los lugares. Me encantaría conocer la cultura de cada zona. y explorar lugares hermosos cerca. Ojalá pudiera aprender algo nuevo para mí. Hago el trabajo con respeto y responsabilidad.
Especialmente me encantaría unirme a proyectos como Permacultura y Agricultura Orgánica, Bioconstrucción y todos los trabajos relacionados con proyectos Sostenibles. Porque tengo el sueño de tener una granja de permacultura y una casa de huéspedes en Japón.
-Que había estado haciendo en Japón-
Después de graduarme en la universidad, trabajé durante 3 años en una empresa comercial japonesa que importaba productos de la pesca y cortaba flores. Y todos los fines de semana he estado en hermosas montañas, ríos y lagos para disfrutar y relajarse en el impresionante paisaje del área remota. Pero no pude detener mi curiosidad sobre el mundo, así que dejé mi trabajo y comencé este viaje.
Hice muchos trabajos diversos y trabajo voluntario en muchos países en el camino de 9 años.
Jardín orgánico, cuidado de animales, hostal y camping, enseñanza de idiomas, proyecto de arte, etc. ...
Me encantan todos los trabajos
