Description

Hi!
My name is Maria and I'm a professional illustrator who works as a hotel receptionist.
I love telling stories through my art and I hope I can build new stories as I work away.
I've lived in Japan with a Working Holiday visa for a year. Even though my dream was to work in a sento, I mostly worked in the guest-house/ryokan industry and also occasionally serving drinks at the local karaoke bar!
Maybe in the future I will be a nun, but before that I would like to enjoy the small things that bring me joy like fishing, singing in karaoke or soaking with the grandmas in the local sento. I'm a very open minded woman ready to learn and work hard!

I'm very good at:
·Cooking and baking (after living 4 months in two monasteries I mastered any type of bread!)
·Fixing things (not cars, sorry)
·Creative skills (drawing, painting, animating, writing, sewing, knitting...)
·Bartending: from making the fluffiest capuccino to serving drinks all night with my hometown's Party Comittee, the drink of your choice will be ready with a smile!
·Methodically cleaning and tidying up
·Eating sweets!

Maria was a good helper, very talented person with good will and could get along with anyone.
She was an illustrator and she once could draw a beautiful illustration on a postcard and gave it to the guest kids and they were so happy about that. I appreciate her character contributed making a gentle atmosphere at the inn.

It seems that the work … read more

I feel very fortunate of having worked at this place for one month. I was there from the end of March to the end of April, I really enjoyed seeing the nature change from a complte winter scenery to full on spring! I believe I was there in the perfect timing because I got to enjoy many local events. Shinji is a good boss and I was able to interact … read more

Maria stayed at the station for three weeks, she had a big impact on the place. She is one of the better cleaners I've had at the station, taking on the task with a real passion. Cooking, cleaning, creating new signs (calligraphy) she totally regrouted two bathrooms, painting and many other things. She has a real eye for detail. Maria is deeply … read more

I spent twoo weeks at Jam's station and it wasn't enough! The station and surroundings were covered in snow, but life inside and the beautiful relationships I was able to form while working there were more than heartwarming! Very happy about the three meals aday plus tea time where Jam brings the best of his baking skills onto the table every day … read more

Right now you'll be working at both a kindergarten and a nursery. The relationship with teachers and children at the nursery is actually harsh and you'll get a lot the feeling that you aren't really needed there at all. Kindergarten is cooler and children are more open and friendly. Since you can actually choose what school you want to work at … read more

I had a super great time , work wasn't hard and Ikeda-san and the rest of the staff are all lovely people! It's a super plus the fact that there is onsen in the hostel and the common areas and rooms are very cozy and japanese style. Beppu has a lot of interesting places to visit so I definitely recommend working here!
