  • Description

    I am currently living in Brisbane.

    I love being in nature and dream of promoting an off-grid lifestyle in Japan in the future. While I was in Tasmania, I stayed with a host family who lived off-grid, and I was deeply inspired by their way of life. After spending five months living in a tent at a campground, I realized what I truly want to pursue.

    I’m very eager to learn more about off-grid living, self-sufficiency (like how to grow vegetables), and permaculture. These are the values and skills I want to explore and develop further.

    So far, I’ve had the opportunity to experience nine homestays in New Zealand and Australia. At many of them, I helped with gardening tasks such as mowing lawns, planting vegetables, watering, and weeding.

    I like hiking, trekking, camping, gardening, fishing, cooking and reading.

    I like talking to people. And I am curious and interested in many things and working on them. I can work hard and I’ll do my best to support you. I’m going to do everything if you teach me.

    More details about my language interests
    I'd like to learn about the cultures and values ​​of various countries, so I am still lerning English myself. Specifically, I've been doing online English conversation for over a year, and I'd love to be able to speak English even better. I also teach Japanese to an American currently living in Japan in exchange for English lessons once a week for about an hour.

  • More details about your skills

    I have had a home stay and farmstay experience in New Zealand in 2011 and have developed a great fondness for the people of New Zealand. I played with the children at the homestay and took care of the animals at the farmstay. I worked as a kitchen hand and waiter at Five Knots (Tamaki Yacht Club) in Mission Bay New Zealand for 7 months.

    My background is as an electrical designer. I attended a technical college and then worked for 7.5 years at Hitachi Building Systems ltd assembling control panels designing electrical parts for elevators. If you have a small electrical problem, I can handle it. I have experience repairing my host family's lamps and electric heater and audio amplifier.
