Hi there!
I’m Haruka! 24 years old, Japanese girl who loves traveling and sharing culture. I have visited 29 countries so far and I have lived in the US, Taiwan, and the Netherlands.
I'd love to share about my experiences and my culture!

And, I love eating! Trying new dishes and sharing meals with locals is always the highlight of my trips. I can also cook some Japanese dishes for you :)

【About my personality…】
I’m easy going, friendly and love talking to people! I get along easily with others, even if we’ve just met, and I’m always excited to learn about new cultures and lifestyles. I’m curious and open-minded, so I’m eager to experience and grow through new opportunities.

【Why Workaway?】
I want to experience local life in a real way while helping out however I can. I’d love to create meaningful connections, share fun moments, and build great memories together. Looking forward to meeting you !

More details about my language interests
Yes, absolutely! I have experience both learning and teaching languages, and I enjoy both equally. As a teacher, I’ve taught English Japanese and Chinese, to both children and adults. I love creating fun and engaging lessons that make language learning enjoyable and accessible. Working with kids has also been incredibly rewarding for me, as I enjoy their energy and curiosity. As a learner, I’ve had the opportunity to study and immerse myself in English and Chinese while living in the US, Taiwan, and the Netherlands. Experiencing these languages in real-life contexts has deepened my appreciation for cultural exchange and communication. I’m always excited to share my knowledge with others and to keep improving my own language skills along the way. Language learning is a lifelong journey, and I’m passionate about being a part of it!

More details about your skills

Hello!
Let me introduce myself and share some of my skills and experience:

【Language Skills】
My native language is Japanese, but I’ve lived in the US, Taiwan, and the Netherlands, so I’m fluent in English and Chinese as well. Communicating in multiple languages comes naturally to me, and I enjoy connecting with people from diverse backgrounds.

【Skills】
-
I’ve managed Instagram accounts and created visual designs for events and companies, handling everything from marketing strategy to content creation.
-
I’ve worked as an English /Chinese/Japanese teacher, especially with children. I love working with kids and helping them learn in fun and creative ways.
-
I enjoy making handmade accessories and have experience selling them online, which taught me about branding, organization, and customer engagement.
-
I’ve worked as a trilingual interpreter for meetings and events, as well as translating documents. I enjoy sharing and learning about different cultures, which is something I also explored during live-streaming sessions where I used all three languages.

I’m excited to bring these skills to new opportunities and collaborate with people from around the world!
