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.

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.
