Description

Hi! We’re Inês and Filipe, a Portuguese couple, both 26, and we love travelling, nature, photography, creative projects and meeting people from different backgrounds.
From October 2024 to May 2025, we travelled together through Southeast Asia, moving between different countries and cultures on a fairly limited budget. It was a fantastic experience that taught us a lot about adapting to new situations, living simply, solving problems as we went, and, most importantly, enjoying the journey rather than rushing from one place to another.
After coming back to Portugal, we decided we weren’t quite ready to stop travelling just yet! We’re now in Japan on a Working Holiday Visa, and we’re very excited to spend this next chapter exploring the country, meeting people, discovering new things and getting to know Japan beyond the usual tourist experience.
This is one of the reasons we’re back on Workaway. We’re looking for opportunities where we can get involved in a project, contribute to the people we’re staying with, and experience a different side of Japan. We enjoy being outdoors, cooking, exploring new places and getting to know the people and communities around us.
We’ve both had previous Workaway and volunteering experiences, and we’ve also hosted people ourselves during a renovation project. So we’ve experienced both sides of the exchange and know how important it is to be respectful of someone’s home, time and expectations.
A little about Inês: I’m a sound designer and photographer with a background in audiovisual production. I’m naturally curious and tend to get very excited about discovering new things. I grew up spending a lot of time outdoors, either camping with my family or staying with my grandparents in the countryside. These days, I still love hiking, being by the ocean, music, taking photographs and sharing meals.
A little about Filipe: I’m a professional photographer and videographer, and I’ve always enjoyed combining creative work with a more hands-on lifestyle. I love photography, nature, hiking and, perhaps most importantly, food. I enjoy cooking and trying recipes from the places we visit. I’m pretty easygoing and enjoy being around people, but I’m also perfectly happy spending a day working quietly on a project.
We both speak Portuguese and English fluently, and have some knowledge of Spanish and French. We’re also always trying to pick up a few words of whatever language is spoken around us.
We’re excited to see where this next adventure takes us, meet some great people, learn from them, share what we know, and hopefully leave every place we stay a little better than we found it. :)
