Description
Hi, my name is Kasumi. I'm 22 years old and from Japan.
I like taking a walk, having peaceful time in the nature and cooking together.
I'm interested in sustainable way of living, gardening and community living.
I have visited organic farms and families in Japan and learned about food, farming, country life and lots of things.
Now, I want to see other countries and broaden my horizons.
I'd also like to learn new languages and improve my English skills.
I don't have any specific skills but am willing to try new things!
I'm happy to share Japanese language and culture if you're interested.
I'm looking forward to seeing you! -
