Description
Hi my name is Masa!
I was born in Japan and grew up in Italy until high school.
I moved to Tokyo
to attend college, following my passion for aesthetics and design.
I am a native speaker of Italian and Japanese.
I have a basic knowledge of English, which I would like to improve by living with and helping a host.
I would like to create a good relationship of cultural exchange and trust with the host, while maintaining some personal space.
I am omnivorous, but following a vegetarian diet is not a problem (my mum is vegetarian).
I have good adaptability, great tenacity and willingness to get involved.
See you, ciao!

More details about your skills
During the years I have worked in Japan, I have had the opportunity to teach Italian to children (3~10 years old), using games for the younger ones and textbooks for the older ones.
I know how to use pc programmes, such as word, excel, editing programmes (but lately I am only editing from mobile).
My hobbies are drawing, sewing (from making pattern), sports, travelling, editing video (YouTube/instagram).
And I love DIY!
I don't have a driving licence, I'm getting around using buses, ships and... my legs! Actually this isn't a problem :)
I am good at household chores (cleaning, washing dishes, glass etc).
I have good adaptability, great tenacity and willingness to get involved.
