ABOUT ME

Thank you for visiting my page!My name is Ayaka Kurehara,I am 23 years old.
I am from Osaka Japan(the second biggest city in Japan)
I love traveling and discovering new world;)

I have traveled to a quite many countries(West Africa, South Asia, Central america and South America)

I lived in the state for 1 year as an exchange student, did intern at NGO(Tourism) in Ghana for 3 months and also intern at NPO(Social innovation) in Guatemala for 8 months.

In 2012 I was traveling around the world for a year.
well my first plan was traveling in South Asia, Central and South America, Europe, West Africa and Middle East, however I ended up staying in Guatemala for 8 months and traveled in Central and South America for about 4 months;)So hopefully I would travel in Europe and Middle east sometime soon!

I enjoy meeting new people and learning new things!! I believe as you meet more people, your world will expand wider. You only live once, you gotta enjoy it to the fullest!

I like to keep me busy all the time.Once I had 5 part-time jobs ;P

At this moment(September 2013- March 2014) Im working for Youth development project in Simferopol, Ukraine.

I speak Japanese,English, Spanish and little bit of Russian.
(If you can teach me Russian, that would be super appriciated)
