Hi there , I'm Yuta, Japanese.
I learnt about wildlife conservation in Japan and worked as researcher of wild animals in Japan for 1year and half. I quitted that job and started working in Mozambique (one of African countries) as volunteer and worked there for 2 years so I speak Portuguese very well and speak English, a bit of Spanish( I learn now by myself) and Shangani language( one of local languages of Mozambique, if you are interested in learning, i will teach you but probably you will never use this language in your life ha ha ha).

I love animals and nature, so I'm very interested in wildlife conservation, ecotourism, environmental education, animal care etc. Also love to travel to meet with new people,make new friends and learning new things.
If you are interested in Japanese culture or language, I will teach you and also I would like to hear about you and learn about culture of your country and language.
I like to cook and can make some Japanese cuisine so if you would like to try Japanese food, I will cook for you.

One of my workaway objective is learning foreign language especially English, Portuguese and Spanish so please teach me when you have a free time.
And other my objective is making a new friends and making a connection in foreign countries because my dream is migrating to other country especially South American countries such as Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador etc).
I have been loved nature that those countries have from my early childhood.
So I would like to make a connection, improve my skills( for exemple language) ,get advice from local people or people who already migrated to other country via workaway experience for achieving my dream.
Before finishing my profile, please let me tell you about myself.
I'm simple-minded person and don't like spending money for buying things, eating at expensive restaurant, Instead of spending money in that way, I prefer spending money to travel for having new experience and meeting with new friends.
My hobbies are reading a book, birdwatching, traveling, having a conversation with people( especially with local people where i visit), and mountain climbing, taking a photograph.
Finally, thank you very much for being interested in me and reading my profile, I'm looking forward to meeting and having conversation with you guys. Arigatou gozaimasu!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning other country's culture, history, language etc. I think best way to learn those things is communicating with people who live in or come from the country so for me couchsurfing can be the best way for that.

I also have plan to immigrate to other country(Especially The Latin American countries such as Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Costa rica etc.) so couchsurfing is very good way to make a friends and connection, get information about the country where I desire to live in.
