Going to Japan tomorrow

Really nervous! I'm gonna be working over there till august, I'm doing it through WWOOF (www.wwoofjapan.com) anyone done anything similar? I've got no idea what to expect! Can't believe I'm doing it actually!

Wow sounds great. I haven't done anything like that before though but going to japan or some other asian country could be great. Have a nice journey

I was hosted by an american family for one year. I was 16 and would go to school, it wasn't voluntary work, but apart from that it should be quite similar. I must say I did suffer from solitude from time to time, but as I said I was very young, I couldn't drive (so, that being America, I couldn't go anywhere without being accompanied), and my SA was a bit worse than it is now.

Still, it was an extremely interesting and enriching experience, plus I learned english, which now allows me, among other things, to browse over "social phobia world"

Besides, I'm sure working togheter with your hosts, as I suppose you will, will help you overcome the initial impact of having to socialize with strangers.
I wish you the best of luck

what's the job u taking on btw?

dont forget to try the tea while you're there... especially the green tea..
