Yoko.
-Our very special -always happy and in a good mood-woman from Japan!

Yoko was our 5. Work Awayer in 2022 and stayed here in the middle of September- If we didnt have to go to Morocco, she would possibly still be here! Yoko was our 2. Japanes WA. And apparently they are very hard to beat- on any level!

Yoko came as a whirlwind of good… read more energy and always with a smile on her face. Nothing changes her focus from doing the best job she can in anything she puts her mind to, and she does. Much more than asked to do. It was great to give her a job, and when you come back from your own tasks, maybe hours later, she`s done and all by herself, has moved on to the next project, without you having to say anything! Great with someone who can look ahead and just go for it! We really like people who has this skill. SO if thats what you are looking for look no further!
We had a lot to finish up in the garden, before we left for a 2 week vacation to Morocco. And Yoko pulled it through, she adapted quickly. Helped out w. garden, chickens, cooking and cleaning the house. Any task, big or small was always done w a big smile and her wonderful laughs. A warning might be a good thing here! When you look into Yoko`s big brown smiley eyes, something inside you just melts.... And that`s a good thing in our point of view! She`s just a super sweetheart!

We absolutely feel in love w Yoko`s energy. We tried some new Japanese food, always very nice to have someone this good in the kitchen, cooking their food for you. Very tasty, and now we will always have Okonomi sauce in our house, thank you for that one Yoko:-) Lots of fun in the kitchen. Yoko is a woman who is curious in the most positive way. She`s in it to win it! Wanna know whats up and down in your world. Helped out in the kitchen to learn as much as possible. Yoko is also very interested in sharing Japan w you. So if you wanna learn about Japan, this girl is a catch!

Its no sceret that Yoko and Nynne made a very special bond. Long talks every night in the kitchen ( Soren left, so the "girls could do their things") It was very interesting to learn that female problems are the same, no matter where you live. Hours and lots of tea and wine later, around the kitchen table w the fireplace in the backgroud, we are now connected forever. Thank you so much for sharing all you stories! Those nights were magical and very special to Nynne forever.

Yoko, your dream is to have an organic farm in Japan some day. If we have helped you obtain that goal in any way, we will be proud forever. That will be more than we had ever hoped for, when we made a WA profile last year. No one deserves it more than you. Never give up chasing that dream! The world of today, sadly, needs it more than ever. We will hopefully be able to come to Japan some day and see your place ( and stand by YOUR special fireplace!!). You are a wonderful touching woman, so much beauty is growing inside you. You will do great things in the future- hopefully with a pinch of Denmark in the making!

Good luck in your bright future.

You danish family forever- you know this is your danish home now. Call us, and we will pick you up anywhere anytime;-)

Nynne, Soren and all the animals at the farm.

P.s. Nynne is very sorry about the Amy-thing.... You know!

Dear Nynne and Soren

Thank you so much for having me and sharing warm kindness hearts. You both made me laugh all the time. I love your beautiful garden and lovely house. The room I stayed was super comfortable.

I still remember the first time we talked on Skype and I felt like I knew you both for long time. You both are very friendly,… read more
