Description
Juan:
Hello Everyone! I'm a Joyful person born in Panama, Spanish Nationality, and had lived in Taiwan for 8 years. I'm passionate about traveling and learning about all kinds of cultures. I love to learn the local languages, and history, and immerse myself as a local. I can speak fluent Spanish and English and have a high proficiency in Mandarin Chinese and Italian. At the moment I'm learning Japanese. I have traveled all around the world and now after graduating from college, I would like to learn and serve while living a truly local experience.
Haruka:
こんにちは、皆さん!私は日本生まれ日本育ちのはるかです。高校卒業後、台湾で中国語を第二外国語として学びながら現地の大学を卒業しました。その後はラテン文化の虜になり、パートーナーのフアンと一緒に車でパナマからメキシコまでロードトリップをしました。旅行中、現地の文化を理解すること、現地の人と交流を図ることの楽しさを改めて実感しました。これからも新しい経験を通して、新しい人たちに出逢い、まだ知らない世界を知りたいです!Interests
