Description

As a Workawayer, I find happiness and inspiration in various aspects of my life. To begin, my blend of Brazilian and Japanese backgrounds provides me with a unique cultural perspective. Growing up in a family with Japanese roots taught me the value of hard work, discipline, and staying connected to nature.

My family's countryside property, where I spent my childhood surrounded by nature, crops, and animals, has instilled in me a deep love for the land and a passion for working with plants and animals.

I also have a great appreciation for hands-on work and craftsmanship. Engaging in manual tasks and using tools gives me a sense of accomplishment. Whether it involves carpentry, renovations, or other practical jobs, I relish the feeling of seeing tangible results and contributing to the improvement of a space.

Cooking is another area where I thrive, thanks to the guidance of my grandmother. She imparted traditional recipes and methods to me, which have become a cherished part of my upbringing. Cooking enables me to channel my creativity, honor cultural traditions, and share delightful meals with others. The act of preparing a delicious dish and witnessing the joy it brings to others is truly fulfilling.

Moreover, my profound love for farmlife has been a constant throughout my journey. The serenity and rhythm of life on a farm resonate deeply with me, and I eagerly embrace the responsibilities that come with it.

Overall, my motivation as a Workawayer is rooted in my cultural heritage, affinity for nature, enjoyment of hands-on work, and passion for cooking. Additionally, my deep connection to farmlife is something I hold dear. I approach each day with an open mind, eager to learn and grow alongside the people and animals I encounter on my journeys. This continuous growth is what makes my experiences truly enriching and special.

By the way, I've already traveled to Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay, the United States, and since April, I've been exploring Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Turkey and Egypt. It's been an incredible journey so far!
