Descrição

Hello!

I'm Yuka! I'm originally from Japan, but I've been studying and working in the UK for four years since 2020. I study Natural Sciences (Biosciences, Earth Sciences and Geography) at Durham University as a thrid year student. I also work for an environmental consultancy as a one-year Industrial Placement in Bristol.

I love nature, travelling and adventure. I have a strong passion for working for local nature and community. That's the reason I joined Workaway. I'm a big hiker going to many mountains and hills in Japan, Switzerland and Scotland. I love wildlife and nature so I've volunteered for local conservation sites in the UK, Wildlife Trust, a monkey sanctuary in Cornwall, Durham Allotment Group and Botanic Garden Group. I enjoy working with people and sharing our experiences and time.

I love cooking/baking and tidying up too. When I shared a house with my housemates, I baked cakes and pastries weekly for our pudding. I love baking a big birthday cake too. I grew up in such a foody family and my parents taught me how to make bread, pasta and noodles from scratch! I love cooking Japanese food too. I've shared houses and stayed with many people such as host families during sixth form, my uni mates, friends and families across the UK. I always respect people's lifestyles and house rules to keep the place tidy or even make it cleaner!

Through Workaway and stay, I'd love to learn about the culture, people and local nature! Also, I'd love to share my experience in Japan and Japanese culture too!
