My name is Hodaka and I am Japanese. I love traveling and meeting new people.
After working as a nursery teacher for three years in Japan, I worked as a receptionist in a dental clinic for two and a half years, saved money, and stayed in Australia for two years on a working holiday. During my working holiday, I did a farm job for 5 months and was an au pair for 10 months. It was not an easy job but a very valuable experience.
My hobbies are traveling and winter sports. I'm certified in Thai massage.
I have been to 23 countries so far.
My name is Masaki and I am Japanese. I love traveling and trying new things.
After graduating from the Automobile College with an automobile maintenance qualification, I worked as an automobile mechanic at Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. for one year, then changed jobs and worked for two years in sales.
From there, I traveled around Southeast Asia for about 3 months and visited 7 countries, which made me love traveling even more.
My hobbies are traveling, tennis, and the outdoors.
I have traveled to 24 countries so far.
We also worked at a local strawberry farm for about two weeks. I helped with plowing the fields and thinning the fields.
The two of us decided to go around the world together and have been working part-time at a hotel for two years, saving money, and we did travel around the world.Interests

I (Hodaka) used to work as a nursery teacher at a nursery school and was an au pair in Australia. I like playing with children. I used to do fruit packing and picking when I had a farm job in Australia.
I (Masaki) used to work as an auto mechanic, so I'm used to using tools. So, I can help with work such as DIY, and I myself am very interested.
We also worked as a receptionist, waitresses, and housekeepers at a hotel, so we can make beds and clean rooms.Age

Even though my English isn't very good, they both explained things well and were very helpful.
They carefully taught me words that I didn't know and new ones, and I had a great time and had fun with everything.

We were very nervous because it was our first work away. I was worried because I was not confident in my English, but Sam spoke Japanese and I remember being very relieved by his kindness.
Since the work was at the end of the season, we mainly worked with other workers to tend the garden and chop firewood.… read more
