Our next destination:
Japan - from Jan 2025 until Nov 2025 View allDescription
We're a french couple, Ariane (アリアン, 26 years old, psychologist) and Léo (レオ 29 years old, computer scientist). We're currently on a round-the-world trip trying to take as few plane as possible. We did a transatlantic sailboat trip this fall (from france to USA), and after enjoying the Caribbean for a while, the United States and the Canada, we're on our way to Japan. Léo has already spent 7 months in your country in the past, and as he loved it, the architecture, rythm, landcape, philosophy, culture and food, we plan to stay arround 1 year here with Working Holiday Visa.
We have a basic knowledge of Japanese (Léo about JLPT N4/N5, and Ariane JLPT N5), and we are enrolled in a language school in Tokyo from April to July, so we're delighted to be able to practice beforehand.
The plan for our trip is to do workaway or wwoofing regularly, so that we don't just rush each country, but also meet people and learn things.
Léo: "I've already done several wwoofing/workaways in France and Japan, and really enjoyed the experience! It's the best way for me to meet people, share moments of daily life, and learn lots of things.
I looooove board games, volleyball, swing, cooking, learning things, board games, hiking, climbing, ... Oh, and did I mention that I love board games?
I'm very sociable and I'm used to living with others: between associations, flat-sharing and summer camps, I love working in a team and improvising projects."
Ariane : "Scout always ready for new projects! As an animator and assistant manager of vacation camps, I love working as part of a team.
As a psychologist, I work in the social sector in France, and in my spare time I volunteer with various associations (Médecins du Monde, Planning familial,...), I do circus or I watch dog videos on the Internet... :)
I love pasta and doooogs, but also board games, hiking and pathetic jokes. I occasionally draw and sew too!"Interests

Because of the weather, we couldn’t work at the farm more than 2 days so we had a lot of free time.
We asked for some job to do and they kindly introduced us to one of their friend who own a coffee nearby and needed help. It was a lovely meeting for us and we had such a good time!… read more
