The things we love are much like nature – they express themselves in amazing diversity, yet deep down they share so much in common 🫶🏾 日本語では、音楽や芸術、アニメ・映画・歴史・文化・自然・動物・哲学・食からトレーニングまで。お好きなことについて一緒にお話しましょう。日本についても、外国の方とお話するたびに、新たな視点から捉え直すなど、たくさんの気付きがあります。文化の触れ合いを大切にし、同じ星をともにする友や仲間として、ゆるく、楽しい時間を共有できれば嬉しいです。どうぞ宜しくお願いします 🪷 Would love to make my target languages a personal part of my life while I study them simultaneously. 🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹 since I love the Mediterranean, 🇸🇪 because one of my best mates is from there. Arabic and more in the future too 🙂‍↕️ Learning English? That's great! I work as a bilingual copywriter, and having lived in 🇺🇸🇸🇬🇦🇺, it would be a pleasure to share my love for the English language via multiple cultural perspectives (🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸 etc.). Wishing you a beautiful one in your part of our shared world 🌍 IG returnthisway ## About - **Age**: 40 - **Location**: Fukuoka, Japan - **VIP Member**: Yes ⭐ ## Languages ### Native Language **Japanese** ### Learning - **French** (Level 2) - **Arabic** (Level 1) - **Italian** (Level 1) ### Can Teach - **Japanese** - **English** ## Interests & Hobbies Humanity, Rescue Animals, Sunset, Twilight, and Starry Nights, History, Languages, Animals, Film, Food, Animation, Cats, Dogs, Philosophy, Meditation, Calisthenics, Photography, Wine, Art, Cooking, Traveling, Music ## Career & Education **Occupation**: Socio-creative Entrepreneur, Bilingual Copywriter **Education**: University of New South Wales Sydney, Singapore American School, 市川学園 ## Travel **Hometown**: Shimokitazawa, Tokyo **Places to Visit**: Mediterranean Sea, Iceland, Sweden, Tangier, Morocco, South America, Central Asia, South Asia, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa, Scotland, The Maghreb, Tunis, Tunisia, Western Sicily, Italy ## Community Stats - **Followers**: 175 - **Following**: 60 - **Moments**: 47 - **Language Exchange Sessions**: 0 - **Learning Points**: 2,603 - **Corrections Made**: 20 ## Recent Moments 1.
