  • Description

    Hello, everyone! I'm Maiko, and I live in Japan. I'm going abroad on a working holiday for the first time in March 2024! My first trip abroad is to Canada. I'm looking forward to it! But I'm a beginner in English, so I'm a little worried. I want to experience a different country's culture in Canada! Of course I want to get along with people who are not Canadian! I'm a little shy, but I think I can get along with you soon if I have a conversation with you!

    Career in Japan

    ・Nursery teacher
    I did that for five years. I was in charge of classes.So I might be of some help if I can help with the kids.
    I love playing with my kids! I was happy to be able to help them grow again. The power of the kids is amazing! Sometimes there are unexpected happy events.

    ・Resor htotel/luxury ryokan work
    I worked in various tourist spots in Japan for about five years.When I worked as a Nakai-san(Innkeeper…?Inn attendant?) at an ryokan with a view of Mount Fuji and a lake, I met many foreign guests and became interested in the world! I also worked as a concierge at resort hotels and hot spring inns in the sea and mountains, and as a server at restaurants. I love talking with guests! I am confident that I can try to make it a special first day for them.

    ・I have helped a rice farmer! Also, my parents' house used to be a fig farmer, and farming was a part of my life since I was a child.
