Description

Hi! I’m Yuriko, a Japanese traveller currently in Australia on a Working Holiday visa.

I’m a friendly, responsible and easy-going person who enjoys meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, and trying new things. I’m also clean, organised and a non-smoker.

I worked as a System Engineer in Japan for 5 years, so I’m used to being responsible, working as part of a team, and learning new things quickly. Since coming to Australia, I’ve also been working and living in a shared house, so I’m comfortable adapting to a new environment and helping with everyday household tasks.

I especially love animals, nature and outdoor activities. I’m very interested in experiencing farm life, especially working with horses, and learning how to care for animals. I don’t have much experience with horses yet, but I’m very keen to learn and I’m happy to start with basic tasks and follow instructions carefully.

I’m happy to help with cleaning, cooking, gardening, feeding animals, general farm work, or anything else that needs to be done. I enjoy staying active and don’t mind getting my hands dirty!

I’m currently planning to visit Melbourne and would ideally like to stay with a host for around 1–2 weeks from around September 24, 2026.

For me, Workaway is not just about finding somewhere to stay. I’d love to become part of everyday life with my host, contribute to the household or farm, meet new people, and experience a side of Australia that I wouldn’t experience as a normal tourist.

I’m especially looking for a friendly and welcoming host where I can learn something new, enjoy nature, and have a memorable experience.

I’m looking forward to meeting you! 😊

What else ...

In my free time, I enjoy travelling, walking, exploring new places, trying local food, and spending time in nature.

I especially love animals and would be very excited to learn more about horses and farm life. I also enjoy cooking and sharing meals with other people.

I’m interested in Japanese and Australian culture, and I enjoy chatting with people from different backgrounds. I’m currently learning English and would love to improve my everyday English through conversations and daily life with my host.

I’m easy-going and happy to try new things. I also enjoy simple activities like watching movies, playing games, going for walks and exploring the local area.

I’m looking forward to meeting new people, learning something new, and making good memories during my Workaway experience! 😊
