Description

Hello! I'm Ruri, a 23 years old from Japan. I now live in Holland for 6 month, as an exchange student of Leiden University. From September, I will move to England to enter the graduate school of Lancaster University. Since I have a week between my studying journey, I look for the new opportunity to explore the life in Europe.

In the past I sometimes helped my grandparents who are small farmers, also I helped coppicing at the farm in England (wwoofing). So I have some knowledge about working in agriculture.
Also I have stayed with my friend and her host family, where she worked as an au-pair. So, I know a little about au-pairing and child caring.

About my personality, I am quiet, independent, optimistic, also curious for the new excitement. I like books and movies, and comics. I'm a quite fan of Japanese manga! And I love to know local history and folklore, myth, etc. If you have stories to tell, I'm happy!

I speak Japanese and English fluently. Baby level French and Dutch.

Looking forward to seeing you!
