Description

Talking to people I meet while traveling is one of the great joys of my life. I'd like to meet people who live lives I have never experienced before.

I like French people because they are honest about their feelings and opinions, so I 'd like to get to know them better.

I'm good at communicating with people carefully and patiently.
My elderly mother and my juniors say that I am good at teaching.
That's because I can change how I say and speaking pace depending on what they says and their facial expression.

Recently I have been working as a volunteer at a nursery school and as an operations staff member at a tourist facility.

People around me often praise my sincerity. I think they say this because of my attitude of approaching my work as carefully as possible, reflecting on problems when they occur, and responding properly to prevent their recurrence.

My special skill is finding stories in everyday life. I can create a story from a collection of small experiences and moments of emotion.
I'd like to experience a new story with Workaway's hosts :)

My hobbies:
Reading books
Admiring paintings, especially impressionist paintings
Swimming
Diving in the sea
touching with animals
dixcovering nature
walking around the city

More details about my language interests
I got 775 points on the TOEIC. I passed the French Language Proficiency Test Level 2. But these were about 8 years ago, so I need to refresh my knowledge. I' d like to be able to communicate with people in English and French more fluently. I'm intersted in teaching Japanese.
