Description
Hi! :D I am Natsumi, a university student from Japan, currently taking 2 years break to travel before finishing my bachelor's degree.
My study fields are education and social welfare, and some of my interests are
- alternative / holistic / sustailnable education and life styles
- youth / adult and life-long education
- community building
and everything about well-being for people.
I love traveling and meeting new people, that have been giving a lot of great inspirations for my life. I really like to listen to different peoples' life stories and experiences, and to share our thoughts each other.
One of my dreams is to create a place, where everyone is warmly welcomed and they can spend a nice time with other people or can just feel their home. (a community hub, cafe, small school, or other...? :D )
I hope I will learn a lot of things and get more inspirations through the Workaway experiences.
Thank you very much for reading. I look forward to visiting your country and having a lovely time with you.

They are such kind and generous people, and it did not take me long to feel comfortable with living at their place(the house itself was cozy, too).
My work was mainly organizing and cleaning in the house, and it was not hard at all. Both Rick and Adam were really appreciative and… read more
She was great at reorganizing cupboards, cleaning tile grout on the entrance floor and finding and harvesting a big Christmas tree. We will miss her.
