  • Description

    Hello! My name is Sayaka.
    I’m a cheerful and energetic person who loves new experiences and helping others.

    I have a background in design and education. I taught interior design and fashion at technical high schools in Japan, worked at a special needs school, and taught at a Japanese international school in Indonesia. I also taught Japanese to Indonesian trainees for several years.

    I’m passionate about agriculture and often join farming volunteer activities. My hobbies include jogging, yoga, and making handicrafts. I love traveling and learning about different cultures.

    Since April, I’ve been volunteering at a Japanese guesthouse in India, helping with daily tasks such as cleaning and cooking. I also volunteered at a ranch in the U.S. from September to December, where I had wonderful experiences working with animals.

    I’m excited to continue learning, helping, and connecting with people around the world through Workaway.
    Thank you for reading my profile!
