和歌山県田辺市上秋津に住んでいます。世界遺産の熊野古道は近く、メインルートの発心門～本宮大社への交通手段は車やバスで約1時間くらいです。熊野古道や高野山を訪れる観光客は、よく田辺市に立ち寄ります。また、田辺市は梅とミカンの町。自然豊かで、白良浜にも隣接しています。人も温厚で親切で、話しやすい人が多いと思います。

家族は５人家族です。私（学習塾と農業）と妻（環境、オーガニックなど様々な活動をしています。）、娘が19歳（会社員）と17歳（高校生）、また、8歳の息子（小３）がいます。ウーファーさんは、家の2階の1人部屋を用意していて、睡眠は快適にとれます。また、私の弟（36歳）と母（65歳）が離れに暮らしています。

私たちは、農地を少しずつ広げていきたいと思っています。作業は比較的軽めです。また、学習塾に興味があれば、英語の勉強なども手伝っていだけたらと思います。また、お手伝いは1日6時間が目安ですが、多少増減する場合は、翌日のお手伝いの時間などで調整します。

・梅の収穫
・食事の準備、片付け
・英語の授業
・脱穀
