Hello, My name is Coraline, I'm french and I will stay in Japan for 1 year. I have a Working Holiday Visa, and I plan to stay in Kyôto until june 2014. I love to meet people from the world, I want to improve my japanese language and I'm searching for a part-time job. I can teach french if you want, I'm also a pet sitter for your dog, cat, horse or any animal you have.

I also went back there in July for one month. I worked as a WWOOFER (WWOOF) in a Horse Back Riding place in Hidaka, which breeds Arabian Horses and train them for Endurance.
Everything. The landscape. The horses. The Japanese family. The other wwoofers. The work. Riding a horse. Walking or hiking through the mountains surrounding me. Going to matsuri with the family. Have nice breakfast, lunch and dinner with everyone. Enjoy the good food of Hokkaidô. Go to the sentô or skiing. Walk in the snow, make a snowman. Go for food shopping with the grandma...
Be careful, it's very very cold in winter ! :)
I used to live in Kyôto. Had friends there. Went to some Machiya, good restaurants, Izakaya... I know very well the place. I went in a lot of temples and shrines. I used to hike all around Kyôto. I also went to the horse back riding place in the North of Kyôto. I had a bicycle to explore all the streets of Kyôto and around.
Shrines, Temples, Kamogawa, Restaurants, Life, People... Everything !
