Hello , nice to meet you !

My name is Aya and I currently live in Japan. I'm a student majoring in culture, society and media. I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking forward to traveling around japan more, now that i have gotten the opportunity while studying abroad. Traveling around using CS would be one of the best ways to experience this i think. I hope to make some good friends along the way. !
