Hi! My name is Ayano and I'm currently studying English Literature and French at a university in the United States. My family moved around a lot, so I grew up in a lot of different countries, and the travel bug has stuck with me ever since. I love traveling to experience new places, learn new cultures and eat different food!

I have been studying French for 8 years now and hopefully one day will be fluent! I'm currently studying abroad in Aix-en-Provence trying to improve my French.

My family and I moved around a lot when I grew up, so I have lived in 6 different countries! I love not only sharing my experiences, but hearing about others, and learning about new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently studying abroad in the South of France, and I've heard many great things about couchsurfing from my friends!
