Description

Hello!
We are a friendly Japanese family looking for meaningful cultural exchange experiences through Workaway. I am a working mother, and we have 2 children - our daughter is 8 years old and our son is 6. We live in Japan and enjoy meeting people from different cultures and learning about everyday life in other countries.

Our children are cheerful, curious, and used to hearing and speaking English because they attend an international leaning environment. They love playing outside and helping in their grandparents' garden. My daughter does ballet and play tennis. My son does Karate and play soccer.

I previously studied abroad in Vancouver and have continued learning English in Japan over the years. I like cooking and traveling. We have a pet Java sparrow at home in Japan, so we are very comfortable around birds and enjoy helping care for animals.

As a family, we are respectful, tidy, open-minded, easygoing. We hope to create genuine connections through Workaway.

We have visited Australia twice. We were deeply impressed by the many unique plants, birds and animals that can only be found there and how poeple live alongside them.
We were also inspired fresh vegutables and livestock raised with care for both health and the envoironnment.
Because of these experiences, we began to feel that the next time we visit Australia, we would like to experience more than sightseeing. We hope to learn more about local life, everyday culture, and the people who live there.

We are happy to help your tasks. We will try our best!
