Description

Hello, my name is Kaon Nabetani. I'm currently taking a well-deserved break from university to explore the world and gain some new perspectives before diving back in. My long-term goal is to become a teacher who can truly make a positive impact on students' lives.

This gap year adventure is all about immersing myself in different cultures and meeting all sorts of interesting people. My first stop was Australia – I spent four months there, working on a banana farm and at a Japanese restaurant. The restaurant experience was truly eye-opening. While working on the farm, I found myself feeling a bit disconnected from my Japanese heritage. However, at the restaurant, I had the pleasure of meeting so many customers who were incredibly interested in Japanese culture. Their enthusiasm really reignited my own pride in my heritage and helped me build my confidence as a Japanese person. Now, I'm in Mexico, completely focused on learning Spanish and expanding my horizons even further.
