Description
Hi! I’m Shin, from Japan. Ever since I saw a photograph of Yukon’s breathtaking scenery when I was a child, I have dreamed of visiting one day. I once gave up on that dream when I got married, but I could never forget it. Now, I have obtained a working holiday visa and am excited to spend one year in Yukon.
I began my career in the automobile industry, but later decided to study English in the Philippines so I could communicate with people from around the world. After returning to Japan, I worked in the tourism industry, using my English skills to welcome and assist visitors.
I’m an open-minded and hardworking person who enjoys meeting people, learning about different cultures, and trying new things. I’m happy to help with any kind of tasks, whether it’s gardening, cleaning, or general maintenance.
In my free time, I love spending time with my dog, exploring nature, and driving to the mountains or the sea. I also have a passion for cars and enjoy the freedom of traveling to new places. I’m excited to contribute, learn, and share experiences with my hosts and fellow Workawayers.
