Description

Hi! We are a friendly and easy-going couple who enjoy trying new things and meeting different people.

We both really don’t mind getting our hands dirty and doing hard work. We actually enjoy practical jobs, DIY tasks, helping around the house, gardening, farm work, and anything where we can stay active and be useful. We also love animals, good food, and being outdoors.

I can speak English fluently, so communication will not be a problem from my side. My boyfriend is Japanese and he is still in the process of learning English. We think Workaway will be a very good opportunity for him to practise his English while communicating with hosts and meeting people from different backgrounds.

We are quite chill people and believe in going with the flow in life and enjoying the moment. At the same time, we are responsible, hardworking, and always happy to help where needed. We like adventure, exploring different places in our free time, and finding hidden spots to hang out. We also enjoy hearing other people’s stories and sharing our own experiences too.

We were both on Working Holiday Visa and wanted to try a different lifestyle, which is why we are interested in Workaway. For us, it is not only about travelling, but also about learning, sharing, helping, and experiencing local life in a more meaningful way.

We are friendly, open-minded, and like communicating with people. We are keen to learn new skills, experience new kinds of work, and step out of our comfort zone. We believe we have a lot to share, whether it is our life experience, culture, stories, positive energy, or simply our willingness to help with a good attitude.

We would be happy to become part of your daily life, help out as much as we can, and create a nice experience together.

More details about your skills

We are a hardworking and adaptable couple with experience in farm work, production line work, and hands-on jobs. Our skills include harvesting, fruit picking, quality checking, sorting, packing, trimming, working efficiently in fast-paced environments, and following hygiene and safety standards.

We are also comfortable with general labour, cleaning, gardening, DIY-type tasks, and basic maintenance. My boyfriend also has experience as a furniture installation technician in Japan, so he is skilled in using tools and practical work.

My expertise is mainly in hands-on work, farm work, and fast-paced environments. I also have experience in customer service, event support, and first aid, so I am confident working with people and handling responsibilities calmly.

What else ...

In our free time, we enjoy being outdoors and making the most of where we are. I love surfing and usually go whenever I get the chance, before or after work in Australia. We both also enjoy photography and always carry our cameras with us, as we love capturing memories from the places we visit.

We both love pets and used to have a dog, so we are very comfortable around animals and happy to help care for them. We are easy-going people who enjoy simple things like relaxing with a drink sometimes, having good conversations, and sitting around a fireplace at the end of the day.

We are also looking forward to meeting different kinds of hosts and experiencing different ways of living. For us, Workaway is not only about helping out, but also about learning from each other, sharing ideas, exchanging stories, and seeing life from different perspectives. We would really love the opportunity to connect with open-minded people and have a meaningful cultural exchange during our stay. Can’t wait to meet you all soon, would be grateful for any opportunities.
