ぞうですね!

(I see! I know of Nagano. It's a very famous place. I can't snowboard but I hope I can try it in Nagano. It's also possible to snowboard in NZ but I'm not very rich and it's an expensive hobby so I've never done it.)

When I was in Australia, I had a student visa so I was allowed to work part-time too. I really enjoy studying English (and also tourism),working (at a take away/restaurant, a duty free shop and so on) and also travelling! 
あなたの景観が面白いですね!

来年、日本に留学しに行って、再来年にはビサをとって 、働きに行こうと思っています。たくさん日本にいて英 語を使う国からきた外国人は英語の教師だそうです。と ても楽しみです。

(Your experiences sound really interesting!

Next year I plan to go to Japan to study and then the year after to work. I hear that many foriegners from English-speaking countries are English teachers. I'm looking forward to it)

さて、直します

(I went to a Japanese restaurant in the weekend with my classmates. While there I asked them about this and they said that they've never heard or used it (for it has).

Anyway I will fix your mistakes.)

As for the answer to your question? Your sentence was perfectly fine. But in English we have a crazy tradition where the more words you can use at one time, the more intelligent you are considered (Does Japanese have this tradition too?). Therefore to use "maybe" twice in such a short space just sounded a little bit strange that's all. And I think your English is superb so I thought I should point this out.
