About Me
Hi there! I’m Minami, a 26-year-old traveler from Japan. Back home, I worked as a professional gardener, tree surgeon, and demolition contractor. Because of my background, I’m physically fit, highly energetic, and very used to hard work outdoors in any weather.
I love being close to nature, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures. I’m clean, well-organized, and deeply respectful of communal spaces and local rules.
Why I'm on Workaway
I’ve set out on a year-long world trip to expand my horizons and see how people around the globe live and connect with nature. Instead of just standard sightseeing, I want to fully immerse myself in local life, understand each country on a deeper level, and build lasting friendships.
I’m excited to share my practical skills to help make your project easier, while exchanging stories and culture along the way! -
