Hi all – please redirect me if there’s a better place to post this.
I’ve wanted to live in Japan for years now but I’m unsure of the best options for me. Financially, the only option that would allow me to stay there and experience all I want to would be is if I work.
The current options I know about are teaching English and working on a farm. I’m an animator, but I wouldn’t fit industry standards currently, and I’ve heard it’s gruelling (and expensive) to get into the anime industry
I’m also autistic (which is a disability for me) so I have limited energy due to sensory issues. I’m also coeliac, meaning working for room and board would be very difficult considering cross contamination. Of course I’d want to make the most of my time, and I’m very worried that the job I choose will make me too burnt out to do anything else. For example, I’d find it quite intense talking for a full day (as a teacher)
Any insight or alternative options would be greatly appreciated. I’m open to travelling for less than 6 months too
