Description
Hello! My name is Minami, I'm a 28 years old from Saitama, Japan. I worked in HR for 4 years in Japan but I am currently living in New Zealand with a working holiday visa.
I was born in Saitama and have grown up in US (3-6 years old) and Japan. I still remember some memories in US but forgot English because I was too young.
My major in university is International Relationships, such as trade, culture, and religion. I have a passion for adventuring and exploring new places. The next destination after NZ is Europe. (might be 13 countries!)
I volunteered clean-up project at Mt. Fuji which is the tallest mountain in Japan. Also, I participated in some activities in my previous company, for example, a clean-up project with local people, weeding and planting flowers along the street and I was in charge of an accountant of the recreation team. I would be happy to work for eco!
My English isn't perfect yet I try to improve it and I always keep smiling :) I'm looking forward to experiencing and learning about our world.
Countries I've been: US, Canada, Malaysia, China, Switzerland, France, Italy, New Zealand
