Description

Hello! I am a Japanese university student who loves talking to people, eating, experiencing new cultures, seeing the ocean and thinking about how wide the world is! I am taking a year off from university and traveling around Japan and abroad. On my last trip abroad, I spend three months in Mexico. There are many foods and cultures in Mexico that I did not know about, and I enjoyed the differences between Mexico and Japan. I was especially surprised when I saw edible cactus(Nopal)! It was delicious! I really like trying things I've never tried before, discovering things I've never imagined, and broadening my horizons. I also find it fascinating to meet wonderful people on my travels. I am very happy to have friends around the world!

More details about your skills

★Childcare
I did a three-month internship in an international kindergarten in Mexico. I played with the children and taught them Japanese and physical education. I like being with children!
★Agriculture
I experienced a two-week farm stay in Japan. I harvested and packed cabbages and onions and pulled weeds at least 8 hours a day. Although the hard work was exhausting, we supported each other with the friends who we met there and enjoyed working physically. I found that the food was very good after working hard!
★Cooking & Cleaning
I lived in a university dormitory and did my own cooking and cleaning. I moved to my grandfather's house this year and prepare meals for him. When I went to Mexico, my Mexican friends taught me how to cook Mexican food and I really enjoyed it. I would love to enjoy cooking with you.
★Cultural exchange
I studied in the UK for a year as a exchange student. I lived in a university dormitory and met many international friends. They had different values, backgrounds, lifestyles and opinions from mine. I was often surprised, but I enjoyed learning new things to me from them and became good friends with them. The days I spent with them were invaluable!

What else ...

I like to walk around enjoying the scenery and finding seasonal plants and birds. I also like to relax at home. For example, I like to read comics (my favorite is Attack on Titan) and play board games (I love Catan!). I live with my grandfather now and often go on a small trip and like to see beautiful views for a while.
