Description

Thanks for checking out my profile!
I'm Makishi, or Max. I was born and raised in Japan, with a Japanese father and a Russian mother. I graduated a christian international school in Japan, and am currently an undergraduate student at Sophia University.
I'm heading to Canada this August on a working holiday visa. What I'm after is to get out of Tokyo for once, live and work somewhere else for a while, and be part of a household rather than just passing through. I'm flexible on the work and happy to commit properly to whatever you need a hand with.
Thanks for reading through all that, hope you have a great day!

More details about your skills

I am currently an English tutor with 6 months of experience. I also am a licensed real estate agent in Japan, helping out with my family AirBnb business.
My past work experiences include: Fitness Gym Employee, Udon Restaurant Employee, Koryouri (Basically a Japanese bar with an emphasis on food) employee, Infosys Intern, and frequent physical work (My house never stops renovating - so a whole lot of plank-carrying, and I drive my mother to IKEA, take all the furniture she likes back home and build it). I also used to have a garden before a typhoon devastated my cabbages.

What else ...

My current hobbies are lifting, reading, meditating and philosophy. I've been lifting for about two years now, and always loved reading, especially contemporary literature. I recently discovered Sam Harris and his Waking Up meditation app, which genuinely seems to be changing my life for the better. I discovered my passion philosophy in my university, after the correct assumption that maybe I like it more than economics and switching majors.
