Description

As holders of a Japanese working holiday visa for 12 months, we are eager to immerse ourselves in Japanese culture, particularly in the rural areas, and contribute to the local community.

Despite our different academic backgrounds - Laura in industrial engineering and Cristina in civil engineering - we both have a keen interest in computer science and its potential to contribute to ecological projects and cultural exchange.

Laura's POV: I love hiking, languages, cooking, and engineering has driven my interest in new ways of agriculture and sustainability.
Cristina's POV: My interests are within history, culture, and new forms of water management have motivated me to explore the potential of technology to create sustainable solutions.

We have participated in social volunteering for many years during our time as young students, have a friendly and open-minded profile with a consistently positive perception. We view our upcoming workaway experience in Japan as a chance to continue our personal and professional development while contributing to a greater cause. We strongly believe that our passion, enthusiasm, and open-mindedness will enable us to make significant contributions to any team or community, especially those that share our interests in ecological projects and cultural exchange.

We have been fortunate enough to have Japanese friends who have shown us the beauty of Japan, but we understand that there is much more to learn and experience beyond what the tourist trail offers. We are excited to learn firsthand what it's like to live in Japan, to experience its unique customs and traditions, and to understand the challenges and opportunities that come with living in a different culture.

Autres infos...

We met each other in university through a mutual group of friends, and have remained close ever since. Last March, we had the opportunity to travel together to Japan to visit one of our dearest friends who is Japanese. During our trip, we fell in love with Japan and its culture, and we are now eager to learn as much as we can within the 12 months that our visa allows.

Our shared passion for sustainable living and community-based approaches to problem-solving has led us to seek out opportunities to contribute to projects that align with these values. We believe that our time in Japan will provide us with the chance to learn from local communities and contribute to projects that have a positive impact on society.

We are excited to immerse ourselves in Japanese culture and to learn more about sustainable living practices in Japan. Our hope is to use this experience to grow both personally and professionally, while also making a meaningful contribution to the communities we work with.

we are open to many kind of projects and lifestyles as that is the whole point of the workaway. We are young and full of curiosity, kindness and positive energy.
