CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

After I left Japan, I travelled for long time. I did some volunteer works in several countries, helped a charity project in Pakistan, visited many schools and private institute to help something. I have met so many wonderful people during this trip.And I met so many kids who have beautiful smile and brilliant eyes

But I decided to stop travelling for a while and stayed in Georgia some time. I started working at a hostel in Tbilisi, tried to help other tourists from the world.I had fun with crazy tourists from everywhere.

Now I feel like I want to travel again like before.
So this is second part of my long trip!! Hope I can meet wonderful people again!!

---- Before I started travelling --------------------------------------------------

After I graduated from an university, I started teaching kids. First school was a school running by NGO. We taught kids who can not go to "normal school" or who don't want to go to "normal school" because they couldn't make good relationship with their friends or teacher etc ..
End of 2003, I decided to go to Canada to see and learn about Homeschooling. And half years later I found an Elementary school I can work in BC, Canada. Then I worked there one and half years. It was a wonderful experience.I really enjoyed teaching kids there and I realized I like teaching kids a lot. I want to spend lots of time with kids and for kids.
I came back to Japan end of 2005. And I got a teaching job in Japan again.

But I wanted to do something before 30 years old. I decided to quite my job and started travelling around Asia.
I am learning so many things now, and I also noticed I really don't know about this world... even about Japan.Trying to see many things, do many things that I have never done it before. Meet many people and talk. I believe that experiences I’ve got during this travelling become my knowledge and my skills.
My next goal is go back to Japan and start teaching again. This is also my next start of my life!!

PHILOSOPHY

Just try it.
