*Currently, thanks to your help, all plans are in place until I return home.
No new requests for help will be accepted.
Thank you.
Hello.
I will be visiting New Zealand from 16th December. I will return home on 25 January.
I have experience as a motorbike development engineer, so I can drive motorbikes and cars and have mechanical knowledge.
I quit after 13 years of work and spent 2 years in Laos as a JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) volunteer. I am freelance now.
I have recently obtained a national qualification as a Japanese customs specialist. I would like to work in trade in the future.
Therefore, I need to improve my language skills and broaden my insight.
So please let me help you.

However, I have no experience with infants and toddlers charms. I think it difficult for me.

I am convinced that they gave me the best possible start to my journey.
