tomo

My name is Tomoko Nakayama. I am 60-year-old and live near Hiroshima station with my husband. I am a pharmacist.
I like travelling, and I have visited about 20 countries so far.
I was impressed by the vast nature of Canada. The lakes formed by water flowing from glaciers were emerald green and very beautiful.
What I felt most in Europe was the difference between Japan and Europe over the ancient architectural styles. In Japan, wooden structures are the norm, but in Europe, there are many marble buildings, and I realized the difference in lifestyle and culture that comes from the difference in climate and topography.
When I saw the musical Aladdin on Broadway in New York, I was painfully aware of the lack of my English skills.
I think visiting different places has really helped me to broaden my horizons.
Currently, I work as a English volunteer, guiding Peace Park, Shukkeien Garden, Miyajima island, and Hiroshima Castle.
I am studying English hard so that I can more fluently explain the good things about Japan in my own words.
I would be happy if I could be helpful to you on your trip.
