Description
Hello everyone, thank you for reading m profile! I am Yumi from Tokyo, Japan.
I have been traveling Europe countries to meet many wonderful people and seeing amazing places since the mid of June 2024. Before that I was in Denmark as a student at Egmont Hojskolen, which is very a unique school in Denmark.
When I stayed in New Zealand on Working holiday visa, I had an awesome time with workaway a lot, so I would like to try that again here in Europe.
Little about my self;)
I like animals, have an experience working in a dairy farm. I enjoy reading, going for hike, traveling of course and eating, so I would love to try new food and learn how to cook it. I want to improve my English skill as well so it would be great if I can do that by talking many kind of things with hosts or other workawayers. I can't wait for meeting new people and having fun thorough Workaway!

Yumi is a very kind and polite person who helped us a lot with the garden and with the children. The garden was in very good hands, she raked the leaves even in her last day. The house was nice and tidy, when she left. Also she was great with our children, even though they didn't speak the same language, they played well together.

I was very happy to host Yumi for a few days in my cottage in the summer! Yumi was such a nice workawayer - being communicative from the start so that we could arrange her arrival and other practical things very easily. She was also very interested in the Lapland lifestyle and motivated to take part also in tasks that were new to her. I am very… read more

Yumi has been such a great match with our family. Respectful and caring, and also engaging in play with our oldest daughter. She (and another workawayer) has been an invaluable help in and around the house, and has gotten a lot of maintenance work done while she was here. Our family also left the house in her care for a couple of days, and it was… read more

Yumi and her friends Sonoe and Carrie arrived on Tuesday evening and stayed until Saturday morning. Suring this time they worked at laying pavers in a small area under an archway. They made an excellent job of it. If I had to do the job alone it would have taken me a week or more. My two grandchildren were here at the same time and so they all had… read more
