Description

Hello! We are a couple in our mid-twenties from Canada. Natalie was raised by the ocean and loves bringing creativity into all aspects of life. She was inspired to complete her Bachelor's Degree in Biology and works at a non-profit improving community access to food. In her spare time, she creates art, tends to her garden and cherry tree, and tries different recipes. Vin has lived all over Canada and loves making new connections with people and places. He works as a nurse in the emergency department and is experienced with navigating challenging situations. Vin enjoys good food and wine, trying new activities, and building community. Together, we love to explore the outdoors and new cities. We are adventurous and often find ourselves hiking, dancing, and planning our next trip.

We are working, living, and playing in Japan for a year! We have always loved experiencing all that the world has to offer and are excited to learn something new everyday. We are quick learners and hard workers. Both of us have a valid Working Holiday Visa and International Driver's Permit. We look forward to meeting and working with you and your community.
