“About my English”
I can speak English well enough for daily conversations.But I’m still learning. If there’s something I don’t understand, I won’t be shy about asking questions, so don’t worry!
“Japanese”
If you need, I would like to help you to learn Japanese and Japanese culture. In my university, I am teaching Japanese to exchange students in their classes as a volunteer!
“Drawing and painting “
I also love drawing and often enjoy creating art based on photos I’ve taken myself
When I was in Nepal, I painted pictures on a wall! My host family liked it with my paintings haha
(you can check out my profile picture for an example of my work!).
“Kids”
I really enjoy spending time with children. I have two younger cousins with a big age gap, and we often meet up and play together during long holidays!
“Cooking”
Since I started living alone in Kyoto , I’ve come to love cooking so if you want to taste Japanese food, I can cook something for you! Also I’m eager to learn making your country cuisine!! If it’s possible, plz teach me! Also I have worked a Japanese ramen restaurant for one year and half.
“Hospitality”
I’ve also worked at a kinda expensive hotel in Kyoto for a year.
At there, I have spoken English for customers who came from other countries with Japanese way of hospitality.
“Sports”
Since I’ve played soccer and practiced kyudo (Japanese archery) from a young age, I’m confident in my physical fitness.
“Farms”
I have experience of volunteering in the farm and take care of Sheep and horses for two months before in Finland. So I have a little knowledge about farming.Most importantly, I love animals so much!!
