Description

Hi, we're Alissa & Leo from the UK. We are excited to travel around Japan for the next year and both hold a working holiday visa.

Alissa:
I’m a multidisciplinary graphic designer with 8 years of expertise in branding, website and packaging design working with clients in various sectors including hospitality, fashion, property and not-for-profit. I also love to draw, take photographs on film and ultimately enjoy partaking in any hands-on creative projects.
I have a constant desire to explore, whether that’s wondering around a new neighbourhood, visiting an exhibition or hiking. I am lucky to have already lived in London, Melbourne and Singapore and I am extremely excited to be in Japan for the next year. Beyond work and travelling I also love cooking & discovering delicious restaurants, yoga and cycling.
I am interested in improving my beginner-level Japanese, making new friends and learning new skills.

Leo:
I'm a manager at a boutique cinema establishment. I have over 4 years experience in hospitality, and have further work experience in Human Resources, humanitarian charities, copywriting and English tutoring. I love staying active and being outside, especially hiking, cycling and playing football, but I'm always eager to try new activities and learn new skills.
I'm passionate about protecting the environment and have a Master's in Environmental Policy. I'm interested in working on sustainbility initiatives during our travels. I also love film photography, writing and collecting vinyl records - I hope to build up my collection while travelling Japan. I've recently resumed my Japanese language studies and would like to progress beyond the lower-intermediate level during our time in Japan.
