    We would love to learn some local cooking recipes and life-style.

  • Descrição

    Hi, we are Ben and Naïla, almost 28 years old, a French couple !

    We are currently getting ready for our working-holiday travel in Japan starting in January 2025. Naïla studied Japanese language and culture at university for three years before doing a 1 year exchange program in Nagoya in 2020. Ben visited her for 3 weeks during that time, but never came back to Japan since then. A few years later, we finally decided to do this working-holiday project together.

    Thanks to her studies and international family, Naïla can speak French (native), English (advanced) and Japanese (intermediate ). Ben speaks French (native) and English (intermediate ). He doesn't speak Japanese yet, but wants to learn !

    We want to discover new regions in Japan, such as Hokkaido, Okinawa, and other places we've never been. We would love to experience living together with Japanese people or family for a fully immersive experience. We believe it is the best way to learn about a country and its culture, language, and traditions ! We are used to living in community and believe we are able to respect common and personal space with others. We hope to be able to offer an interesting cultural exchange !

    We are both experienced travelers, especially throughout Europe and Southeast Asia. Thanks to those experiences, we are autonomous and adapt quickly to our new environment.

    Ben has a WOOFING experience in France where he took care of goats for 2 weeks. Naïla did a 5-week volunteer in Koh Mak Island, Thailand, at an animal clinic and shelter. She also did house-sitting for friends in France for a few weeks in an autonomous mountain house. Because Naïla loves animals and wants to become a dog and cat trainer and behaviorist in the future, she is currently a volunteer at her local animal shelter in France.

    We both like outdoor activities and want to go skiing, snorkeling, surfing, trecking, and more depending on the regions we will visit !

    We are looking forward to making new encounters and meeting you ! 🤗
