Hi my name is Aoi (those who are native English speakers out there, it's pronounced as close as “owie”, like when hurt. And those Japanese learners, it's the same sound as the colour of blue in Japanese but my name doesn't have anything to do with the colour: it is a plant/flower) and I am from Japan.

I did exchange study at the Gold Coast in Australia for a year. I also have a working experience at Walt Disney World in Orlando ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have some friends around the world including Australia, Germany, England, Sweden, the US, and so on.
I work in the small video production company as a production assistant and trying to work my way up to become a storyboard artist!
I'm into photorealistic portrait drawing.
I’d love to talk to and hear stories from people, I speak English and Japanese, and keen to learn one more ... or three! Also I own a Bialetti mokaexpress, I can make and serve you delicious espresso/cafe latte in the morning. Hope you drink coffee lol

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
