My name is Ayaka, it’s written like this 彩香 and means ‘colorful scent’.
I'm originally from Japan and lived in the USA for over 19 years — California, Tennessee, Seattle Washington, and New York City. I am a freelance fashion designer specializing in Lingerie.
I am currently based in Japan and traveling through France - Spain.
Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling solo October - November 2021, and looking forward to meeting locals, travelers and share stories!

I’d love to share meals or drinks whenever possible, eating alone can get lonely sometimes :)

Interests

I am interested in seeing and experiencing local living rather than touristy activities.
Also like to exercise, hikes, or moving body when accessible - would love to find places to take yoga/pilates classes while traveling.
