Description

Hi! I'm Yosuke, a 21-year-old university student from Japan, currently studying Economics at the University of Tokyo.

I'm a curious, open-minded, and sociable person who loves meeting new people, exploring unfamiliar places, and trying new things!

I spent six years at a boarding school during junior high and high school, and I've also lived in a student dormitory during university. Living with so many different people has taught me how much I enjoy sharing everyday life with others, working together, and learning from different perspectives.

During university, I became fascinated by artificial intelligence and spent much of my time working at an AI startup. I helped develop AI-powered products and introduce them to businesses. It was exciting to see how new technologies could change the way people work, and I really enjoyed collaborating with different people to bring new ideas to life.

In my free time, I love traveling, playing racket sports like tennis and badminton, and listening to music, especially classic rock from the 70s to the 90s! I'm also interested in history and enjoy learning about the culture and stories behind the places I visit.

One of my biggest motivations for joining Workaway is to meet people from all over the world and discover different ways of thinking and living. Rather than simply visiting famous tourist attractions, I want to experience local life, share everyday moments, and build genuine connections with people.

But more than just learning from others, I also want to give something back. I hope the people I meet will feel happy that our paths crossed, just as I will feel lucky to have met them.

Whether it's working together, sharing a meal, laughing about something silly, or having a deep conversation about life, I believe even small moments can make our lives a little richer.

I'm excited to try new things, learn practical skills, contribute wherever I can, and make wonderful memories together.

Looking forward to meeting you!

More details about my language interests
I'm a native Japanese speaker, and I'd be happy to teach Japanese and share Japanese culture with anyone who's interested! I can communicate in English in everyday situations, but I'm still learning and would love to improve my speaking skills through conversations with people from around the world. I also studied Mandarin Chinese for one year at university, so I know a little bit of the language, although I'm still very much a beginner. I believe language learning is a wonderful way to connect with people and understand different cultures. I'd love to exchange languages, learn from each other, and have fun conversations together!

More details about your skills

I worked as a waiter at a Western-style restaurant in Japan for about a year, so I have experience in customer service and working in a busy team environment.

I've also helped with moving and other physically demanding tasks, so I'm happy to do hands-on work.

Having worked at an AI startup, I'm comfortable with computers, digital tools, and office-related tasks.

I'm always willing to learn new skills and help out wherever I'm needed. I'm flexible, hardworking, and happy to take on new challenges!

What else ...

I'm a big fan of history, architecture, and nature!

I especially love traditional Japanese architecture, particularly Japanese castles. I enjoy visiting historical places and learning about the stories and cultures behind them. I'd love to explore historical buildings and beautiful landscapes in other countries too!

Music is also a big part of my life. I listen to all kinds of genres, but lately I've been really into classic rock. I'd love to discover new music from your country, so please share your favorite songs with me!

I also love spending time outdoors, exploring nature, and discovering new places.

I'm always up for a good conversation, a little adventure, or trying something completely new. I'd love to share our favorite music, stories, and cultures with each other!
