Description
Hi, I'm Kaori from Japan.
Now it's time for me to jump into new adventures. I will travel to Europe from summer 2023.
I'm excited to explore new places, meet new people and see different cultures.
One of the big theme of my journey is "food", I love to learn about local dishes and traditional food cultures (typical home cooking/baking) and farming/gardening during the stay as a volunteer.
Not only the food related work, I'm willing to help any projects and do my best!! :)
I also love nature, animals, outdoors.
I look forward to new adventures and experiences, and being part of your family!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
- Gardening / Farming -
I had been farming for 8 years with natural farming method and used to grow more than 20 kinds of vegetables and fruits. It's important for me to know where the foods I eat comes from, how they were produced. I know farming is hard work sometime but producing your own food is very natural and simple thing for me to live.
- Cooking -
I love cooking and have worked at several organic restaurant and cafes as serving staff and sometimes assistant in kitchen.
The cafe I currently work is vegan cafe (I'm not vegan though) and I cook every foods in menu and bake vegan & gluten-free sweets (cakes, muffins…).
I love to share typical Japanese foods if you like!
