Description
Hi! I am Yuya.

I am from Japan and in my late 20s. I came to Ireland in May 2023 to learn English and enjoy good ole Guinness. Nothing is better than one cold pint! :)

I have been staying with several Workaway hosts since then, working in their farm and garden. I am now at a plant nursery near Wexford. I really like these work and would love to learn skills related to gardening, agriculture and animals!

I worked for a library back in my country, and also have a short-time experience in hospitality as a hotel housekeeper. As a former librarian, I like reading as well as walking and cycling. Roald Dahl is my favorite. I was also an avid archer of Kyudo, Japanese traditional martial art. One of the photos is when I was playing!

I am triple-vaccinated against Covid-19 and have a valid working visa.

The area is called "Sunny South East," and enjoys mild weather with less rain than other parts of the country. But, It is still really cold in winter, so you would not regret bringing good warm clothes. There are several beaches nearby, some of which are within walking distance, and Rob would be happy to drive you around and get you to meet his… read more

Yuya was such a lovely young man who contributed greatly to our home. He was so helpful and kind and seemed to embrace every kind of job with diligence and enthusiasm.
We loved having him to stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him .

It was a wonderful three weeks at Robin and Catherine's. The house is located in the tranquil countryside with lots of greenery and animals, right next to a millrace where you can swim. The interior and exterior of the house was kept clean. Robin and Catharine were a lovely couple and always checked on me to see if everything was okay. They, and… read more
