Descripción

In my 20s, I worked hard, only sleeping about three hours a day. After nearly 10 years of working, I realized that working hard for money wasn't for me.

After that, I started looking for other lifestyles and became interested in self-sufficient life in the countryside.

With no background in self-sufficiency, I believed that learning by doing was the only way to go.

Then I volunteered at an off-grid farm for 6 month in Japan. I built a small hut from the foundation, so I know how to use basic carpentry tools and power tools.

While pursuing self-sufficient life, naturally I get very interested in permaculture, organic farming, animal husbandry, natural building and food forests etc...

In other words, I am interested in everything related to self-sufficient life.

Thanks to workaway and great hosts, I volunteered at homesteads for

Turkey (4 weeks)
India (12 weeks)
Kazakhstan (3 weeks)
Bulgaria (6 weeks)
Greece (2 weeks)
Malaysia (2 weeks)

in 2024.

Then I started growing vegetables at my little garden and was able to produce more than half of my own vegetables in 2025.

That was so fun!!

Now, I would like to experience self-sufficient life in various countries around the world again.

I am eager to contribute and learn a lot in your farm.

I have traveled to more than 20 countries so far, so I can communicate in English and have an understanding of different cultures.

In 2023, I volunteeted at an off-grid farm for about half a year in Japan and learned organic farming and carpentry.

During that time, I built a small hut from the foundation, so I know how to use basic carpentry tools and power tools.

Thanks to Åshild, I was able to spend one of the most intense and enriching 9 days of my life. Located right by the shore of Sweden's 5th largest lake, the setting is breathtaking.

Ryuji was an excellent workawayer. He was hard working, polite and enthusiastic in all tasks, whether work or leisure. Ryuji helped with hay making, scything, weeding and also joined in with us when we went swimming in the sea and mountain biking. Ryuji got on well with everyone and although quiet at first, he soon made friends with us all. It was … read more

Ryuji was friendly, helpful and very capable. He performed a range of tasks including garden work, installing panels, setting up cameras (for dog viewing), cleaning and a few other tasks. He was well skilled in many things and always approached his task without hesitation. He was nice, quiet and his travel experience is inspiring.

I completely agree with Dafydd and Hanna’s reviews! Roz's cooking was incredibly delicious and beautifully presented—every single meal made me so happy. Also, Roslyn's house was honestly the cleanest home I have ever seen in my life. My own standard of "clean" was clearly lower than hers, so learning her routine to keep the house so spotless was … read more

Ryuji is a quiet gentle soul who was the perfect person to look after my place when I left for eight days.

I had an incredible 2-week stay with Christian and Karina.

The off-grid systems they've built-including the irrigation, water, and electricity-are truly impressive. Everything was so seamless and comfortable that I wouldn't have even known it was off-grid if they hadn't told me.

As part of my help, I got to set up a garden bed. It was my first … read more
