Description

Hi there!

I’m a lover of cooking, film photography and the outdoors, with a passion for travel and meaningful stories. I'm a film producer by profession, and for the past few years I've been working full time but I am now taking a sabbatical to travel and experience new things. My first stop is Japan where I will be travelling on a Working Holiday Visa. I am looking for a place to practice Japanese language and experience the culture first hand. Ever since my first visit to Japan a few years back I've been waiting to return for a longer time, so I am very excited!

Cooking is one of my favorite ways to connect with people and cultures, and I’m always excited to learn local techniques or share dishes from home. My other hobbies include: helping my friends with short film or music video projects, camping, hiking and rock climbing. I'm also an avid language learner and I find languages and the way they shape cultures endlessly fascinating.

I’m curious, hard-working, and a quick learner. I value community, and finding joy in the small things:)

What I Can Offer:
Cooking meals, meal planning, and helping in the kitchen. (both savoury and sweet!)
Customer Service; Waitressing/serving, Guesthouse or Hostel work.
Language and culture exchange.
Filmmaking & photography (for projects, promotional videos, or social media)
A positive attitude and lots of energy!
