Profile information
Description
I'm Veronica, i'm 27 years old and i'm now studying as an exchange student at a university Tokyo.
I've been both an host and a workawayer (I can send you my host profile, if you are interested!) and I'd like to spend some time this summer volunteering in Japan, before the Fall Semester starts.
I feel that meeting new people, getting in touch with different life-styles and cultures and having the chance to experience something unusual is a great and enriching opportunity that i want to grab! I think that there's always something new to learn from others (:
I'm a reserved person who is always willing to understand and respect other people's needs, but at the same time i like having meaningful conversations and i'm really into literature, cinema, arts, philosophy and music!
I have recently started a new hobby which is field recording. I like recording the sounds of what surrounds me, especially the sounds of nature.
I'm willing, if possible, to my Japanese skills, but I would also love to share my English and Italian language knowledge.
I'm looking forward to having new experiences thanks to workaway!

I've a degree in Philosophy and one in Language and Oriental Cultures. i'm now studying for my master degree in translation (Japanese, English) in Turin.
I've worked for almost one year in a Japanese restaurant as a sous-chef, i love Japanese cuisine, but i really enjoy cooking Italian food too!
I have experience with kids because my brothers are 9 and 14 and i've also babysitted a 2 y.o. kid before. I'm used to changing diapers, helping them with their homework, or to play with them outside at the park.
I really like teaching and sharing what I know, while making it interesting and fun (:
I can do house chores because i usually take care of the house (cleaning, cooking, shopping, ironing, doing the laundry etc.)
I have a bit of experience with gardening too, but i really like spending time outdoors and I'm willing to learn more about it!
