Description
My name is Sandra, but in Japan, I've been known as Dora-chan. I came to Japan in 2019 to work a winter season as a ski instructor, and ever since I set foot here, I've loved every second of every minute of every hour.

I'm happy-go-lucky person, with an outgoing, bubbly personality, and now that I've finished my second winter season, I want to explore and dive deep into the Japanese culture. I thrive outdoors and in natural surrounding and I also have a thing for extreme sports and adrenalin kicks.

I love meeting new people, sharing experiences and finding hidden gems in the beautiful nature. I'm always ready to lay in a helping hand and I don't mind getting my hands dirty.

More details about your skills
I've worked in many different fields since I was 13 and I've always been eager to learn and gain new skills. In Japan, I've worked as a ski instructor, a babysitter and most recently, ski patrol. I'm used to jobs that are physically demanding, and I believe that my Scandinavian built makes me eligible for most jobs.

Before coming to Japan, I worked in the restaurant, service and hospitality industry, but I'm open for anything that will make an awesome experience and maybe even help me gain new skills.

Sandra stayed a couple of weeks and was a great help. Fit, strong and capable of all the outdoor tasks that were asked of her. Sandra was hard working, friendly and a pleasure to have stay. I would recommend her to others.

I had the pleasure of staying at the site for two weeks time. The place is amazing, close to one of the nicest beaches I've ever encountered, everyday oceanview, incredible sunsets and great company!

Oh, my! Even though my stay with Ohzora wasn't very long, it didn't take me long to feel welcome! From the moment I was introduced to everyone, it felt like I had been there forever. Everyone are so passionate about the work they do, and it was amazing to connect with students, both online and in real life. I joined Marianela and Noriko for… read more

Sandra is an athlete and an adventurer, which are two qualities that are helpful to workaway hosts. She is stronger than some of the men who have been here. Lol. She also has a knack for gardening and outdoor work too. She taught us a lot of new things, especially about how to use Instragram, and really moved our garden along, and fit in greatly… read more

I stayed with Todd and Kaori for a little more than a month and it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment you step inside the little family’s home, you instantly feel welcome. There’s plenty of things to do work wise - gardening, maintaining the kitchen and the zen garden, social media stuff, planning events and activities, research, etc. As a… read more
