My skills
I am an Architect and have been in construction industry for 40 years. My work involves solving problems at site and overseeing the design of the train stations. I am currently looking towards scaling down work and fueling my burning interest in fully experiencing life in Japan. I have passed N3 JPLT and working towards N2 level, hence, looking also for chance to improve my Japanese language skills. I am very hands on and can manage basic plumbing, electrical, lock, carpentry problems.

About Me
I love hiking, cooking, reading and being outdoors. I also love the sea and nature and most of all, i love Japan. Being 60 this year allows me finally to move onto another new phase of my life to live and experience more fully all that i am interested in. I am also searching for a transition from the full-time working lifestyle to a more varied but simple lifestyle; to be fully where i am and doing what i enjoy.
