Message To WWOOFers In Japanese
小さい宿を1人で経営しています。私が心がけていることはお客様や、ウーファーさんに対して楽しい旅の思い出作りのお手伝いをしたいと考えています。
色々なゲストとコミニュケーションをとれるかた。1人でも楽しめる方。自分達で楽しめる方。
私は、楽しみは、人に与えられるものではなく、自分で見つけるという考え方をしています。
自然を堪能したい方、海を堪能したい方がむいていると思います。
私は、ゲストにもウーファーさんにも余計な干渉をしないようにしています。
でも、何がしたいか目的を聞き、色々な質問をされたら一緒に考えて問題を解決しています。
でも、私1人で家族が誰もいないので親密なコミニュケーションを求められると出来ないことがあります。その時は、代わりに民宿スタッフがコミニュケーションをとってくれます。
もう一つ、英語が上手に話せないことや女性特有の更年期障害があるので、その点を理解をして頂ければ誤解を生じることがないので、楽しんで頂けると思います。基本、ウーファーさんには、無理なことはお願いしていません。お願いする時は、事前に出来るか確認をしています。
1日6時間(食事時間を除く)お手伝いをしてもらう予定です。お手伝いの内容は、季節によって変わります。1日6時間を超えるお手伝いをお願いする場合、後日お手伝いの時間を短縮したり、変わりにお休みを半日、もしくは、1日単位で多めに休めるように調整しています。
食事は、私が心を込めて作るようにしています。ゲストがいる時は、ゲストと同じメニュウーの食事を食べて頂きます。お昼ご飯は、海や色々な所遊びにいけるよう、おにぎりや
パン、お弁当にしています。たぶんこれでは、物足りないと思うので、様子をみて座間味島のレストランやスーパーで好きな物を食べてもらうのに配慮しています。
歩いて3分の所に亀と一緒に泳げるビーチがあります。私の感謝の気持ちですが、自転車やシュノーケリング用品をいつでもお使い頂けるように準備しています。
補足ですが、4月から10月までは、気温も日差しも強いので、お手伝いをしてもらう時、大量の汗をかきます。暑さに弱い人は、体力的にきつく感じるのでやめたほうがいいと思います。
ウーフしに来たい方は、上記のことを理解してご連絡下さい。また、もう少し、詳しく内容を確認したい方も遠慮なくご連絡下さい。
