Description

Hello, my name is Maria and I'm from Lancashire, England. From September 2022, I travelled to Japan on a working holiday visa. I dreamt about the trip for a long time and explored as much of the country as possible.

In between sightseeing, I lived and worked in guesthouses. It was the most incredible year of my life and upon returning home, I immediately began planning my next trip.

I have worked in many many industries. I am always open to a challenge and trying out new things. My strongest skills are customer service and data management, though I've done plenty of physical jobs as well. Cleaning, gardening, dish-washing, table setting, bed making, pet sitting, language exchange to name a few.. I enjoy learning new things and working hard.

I've been described as being an easy going person, and as having a positive attitude. I love to meet new people and often strike up conversations when I can.

I'm currently studying a TEFL as I would love to teach English as a career. I am actively studying Japanese; as well as a little Korean. In my spare time I like to study history :)
