Description
Hi, I'm Sayoko! I'm from Japan and currently getting ready for a working holiday in the Netherlands. I'm curious, open-minded, and always excited to learn something new.
I previously did a short-term Workaway in Germany, where I helped with cooking and cleaning while enjoying daily life with a kind and welcoming host family. I really value meaningful connections and cultural exchange. I'd love to share Japanese culture with anyone who's interested—my father is a Buddhist monk, so I grew up in a traditional temple in Japan :)
Right now, I’m learning Dutch and would love to practice with locals. I’m not sure of all my plans yet, but I’m looking forward to discovering new places, meeting new people, and learning along the way!
