Description
Olá!
I’m Mizuho, 31, from Japan.
This year I’m in Portugal on a working holiday visa, and I’m going to take part in an artist-in-residence program this summer.
My biggest interests are cultural exchange, creative projects and gardening(or farming) .
I’m proactive and like to try new things.
🧑 About me
Calm, friendly, open-minded, curious, responsible, a little bit shy
🩷 Likes
Travelling, art, animals, music, reading, spending time in nature
To be honest, I can’t speak English fluently yet, but I can manage everyday conversations and I’m studying to improve.
I would like to make friends from different countries and talk about our different cultures.
I will do my best to support you, and I would be very happy to work with you and stay at your place.
Thank you. -
