Hi everyone! My name is Nao, Nice to meet you! I live in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, a place known for its delicious rice and sake 🌾🍙🍶. I've also lived in Tokyo for 10 years and in the United States for 4 years. Currently, I am living near the beach, enjoying a relaxed life in the countryside, playing drums in a band, and surfing 🏝️✨. I love art and nature, especially films, music, beaches, and mountains 🎬🎵🌊⛰️. I love listening to people and discovering new worlds through their stories 🤩. I have around 10 years of experience in work support 💁‍♀️.

I had another fun lesson with Nao today. She's very easy to talk to and encouraging. She makes sure to ask questions that suit the conversation and my interests. I'm always happy to see her. Today we talked about various topics, including music, singing, and travelling!
