Description
Hello, my name is Takumi Ueda, a 23-year-old from Japan.
I am planning to visit Estonia on a working holiday visa starting this November and am looking forward to staying for about one year. I am very excited about the opportunity to experience the wonderful Estonian culture and lifestyle with local people like you. I am currently learning English and am eager to actively engage in learning English and other languages during my stay.
I have a strong passion for food and nutrition. I have studied at a university for four years to become a registered dietitian and hold a qualification as a registered dietitian. With my extensive experience working in the food and beverage industry, I have developed a great love for cooking.
I am also a big lover of nature. I have a deep interest in sustainable food culture that coexists with nature. My family owns rice fields and large vegetable farms back home, and my grandparents and mother are farmers, so I have practical experience in agriculture.
I am a hardworking, responsible, and friendly person. I am eager to share my knowledge and skills, and at the same time, I am excited to learn from you and contribute to your project.
I look forward to connecting with you and exploring the beautiful nature of Estonia together.
Thank you for reading my profile.
