Description

Hello! I’m Tomu from Japan. I’m 23 years old. This year, I’m taking a gap year from university to get various experiences.

So, I’m traveling around the world for a year while wearing a jinbei, a traditional Japanese garment. I much prefer visiting local spots to tourist attractions. The reason why I try Workaway is that I’d like to understand the true way of life in each country or region.

I have experience volunteering to support international students who came to study in Japan, while living in a shared house for two months. At that time, I helped with DIY in the shared house and taught them Japanese language and culture. So if you’d like to know, I can share things about Japan.

I really like animals, nature, and exercise as well. I belonged to a football team from childhood until my high school years, so I’m confident in my physical strength.

I don’t speak English fluently, but I can have daily conversations. I’d like to make friends with people from various countries and talk about cultural differences. That’s why I’m studying English hard.

I will do my best to support you. I would be happy to contribute and also learn from you.
Thank you very much!

I stayed at Stephen's house for a week. Stephen was always kind to me. He respected for my personal time and shared many interesting towns that I could visit from his house. What I found particularly memorable was walking around the neighborhood near his house with him. As we walked together, Stephen explained the towns to me repeatedly until I … read more

It was my first Workaway experience and perfectly amazing experience!
I stayed at his quiet and relaxing farm for about a week.
The main task was to feed the animals, and also cutting branches.
He always taught me how to do some tasks. So I think it’s not hard for workers.
He is calm and chill person and that made my life easier in there.
He was a … read more
