Description
Hello! My name is Aya, and I'm from Japan.
I'm a cheerful, friendly, and positive person who loves trying new things. I enjoy meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, and learning from every opportunity.
I played soccer from elementary school through university, so I enjoy being active, working as part of a team, and helping others.
In Japan, I worked full-time managing projects and events, mainly for government organizations. I also have experience as a project leader, which helped me develop responsibility, flexibility, and strong teamwork skills.
I have taken a one-year leave from work because I want to travel the world, experience different cultures, and grow through meaningful connections with people from all kinds of backgrounds.
On weekends, I volunteer as a soccer coach for elementary school girls. I truly enjoy spending time with children, playing with them, and creating a fun, positive, and supportive environment.
Since I have lived alone, I am comfortable with everyday household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and keeping things organized. I enjoy learning new skills and am always happy to help in any way I can.
My English is not perfect yet, but I am eager to improve and communicate as much as possible. I believe that every conversation is a great opportunity to learn.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to meeting you and sharing a wonderful cultural exchange together! -
