Description
Hello! My name is Misaki. I am currently a forth-year university student,and live alone in Osaka, Japan. Please call me "Kiki". It's the name of the main character from the Japanese famous animated film "Spirited Away". She is a curious, energetic, and kind girl who loves helping others. I model my way of life after hers.
I love interacting with people, cooking, spending time in nature, and exercising. Especially baking sweets is one of my most important hobbies, which I have been doing since I was a child. I really enjoy having someone eat the food or sweets I've made. I also really enjoy my coffee time. Everytime I make a cup of coffee, I grind my own coffee beans and brew it. It takes some effort, but the aroma is on a totally defferent level compared to instant one.
I like relaxing my free time at home, but I also like being active. Recently, I have made it a routine to go the gym and do some workouts. Jogging is also one of my hobby. I have finished a full marathon twice.
I love plants and animals. Since I was a child, I have been going to the mountains and rivers with my family and friends to play in nature. The time I spend with insects, animals, and plants is a very relaxing time for me. I would be happy if I could introduce Japanese culture and customs to you through work-away, as well as experiencing the local lifestyle and culture. Through this exchange, I would like to further improve my English skills.
I am really looking forward to meeting and spending time with you!

The week I spent with you has truly become one of my greatest treasures.
It was my first time in Europe, my first solo trip, and my first Workaway experience. Everything was new to me, and at the beginning I felt quite nervous. But in just one week, my life with you in Ried im Innkreis turned into an irreplaceable and beautiful… read more
