Description
Hi hosts and fellow travelers!
We are Ying, 24 years old, and At, 29 years old. At the moment we are in Hakuba (Japan) to work during the winter season. After, we would like to explore more of Japan, see different cities, the beautiful nature, experience the culture and meet new people. We have a valid working visa up till the end of 2025. We are open to try new things!
We live in the Netherlands in the city The Hague and we both work in hospitality. I work as a front of house manager in a beach club and At works as a chef, he is mostly interested in the Asian cuisine. In our free time we like to drink coffee, go out for diner, play games and try out new activities.
We are both born in Asia, but we're raised in the Netherlands with the Dutch culture. We are very interested in the Asian cultures and would like to explore this more by travelling. Besides the tourist activities, we would like to learn from the locals and about their lifestyle. Things you don't see when you're just a tourist. We thought 'WorkAway' will be an awesome way to explore this.
We are looking forward to meet new people, do things out of our comfort zone and go on adventures!
