Description
Hello! I am Chiharu. I am 27 years old.
I wanted to do a job that coexists with nature, so I went to a junior college in agriculture.
After that, I learned the form of an advanced farmer in the Netherlands for about a year.
I felt that the form of agriculture I wanted to do in Japan was the closest to organic agriculture, and I did WWOOF for the first time in Canada. I visited 4 places for about 4 months, and I got completely different experiences everywhere and it offered life’s sustenance .
After that, I worked for an agricultural consulting company for about 4 years, mainly involved in the operation of organic agricultural rental farms and the management of agricultural school classes.
I became interested in education as a result of this job, and now I have a period of learning for myself with the aim of providing "a place where agriculture, education, and parents and children are connected".
I believe that staying true to myself and always listening to my heart allows me to remain happy. Through experiencing different people's lifestyles, I hope to learn about the many ways individuals express their authenticity and live happily. This is one of the things I am most looking forward to during this Workaway experience.

More details about your skills
I have been learning about agriculture since my student days, and as a job, I have mainly focused on organic vegetable cultivation. I believe I have a good understanding of growing edible crops.
Additionally, I spent a month in India studying yoga, so I have some knowledge of basic yoga practices and its philosophy.
Whether I am good at it or not is another question, but I enjoy cooking homemade meals and baking .
