Description

Hi! We are a fun and friendly couple currently travelling and skiing in Japan (January - April 2024) and are looking for adventure and new experiences! With Sam being a physiotherapist, Emily a marketer, and both being into the outdoors, nature, cooking, and getting our hands dirty, we are hoping to find an exciting Workaway experience in Japan. After workawaying on a couple of farms in Sweden and Finland and loving it, we found it very rewarding and got to experience both places from a different angle. Sam has also had experience in an eco-build project in Australia, which was an amazing experience. We both have a good eye for detail, are hoping to meet new people and have a great time!
