My profile
Name: Aya Hirano （平野彩）
Where I’m from:
Originally born in Singapore in 2000, August 9th with Japanese parents. Moved back to Japan for elementary school when I was 7, but moved back to Singapore in 2013 until I graduated high school in 2019. Upon graduating, I entered Japanese University in Tokyo.
Hobbies:
I love to exercise regularly! I have been taking cycling classes from December 2023, and I love it! I also love Yoga; due to the relaxation and calmness it gives me in my busy day life! I also love to watch series from Netflix, my recent favourite show was the Bridgerton 😉 I love music as well, and my top favourite artist is Taylor Swift! I have been a Swiftie since I was 13 (ironically!). I’m also a big foodie, and I love to go to places just to get that food (I travelled to NY for their bagels lol)
Also, I have a bird as a pet, whom I love dearly. His name is Karoo and he is a cockatiel. He is a full of mischiefs, which is my favourite thing about him.
Occupation:
Currently a university student in Tokyo. I am graduating in September of 2024, and I majored in International Relations. I studied mostly about the social inequality within Asia, and I am passionate about feminism, anti-racism, and poverty problems.
Upon graduation, I will be working at a pharmaceutical company as an HR!
As a part time job, I work as a tour guide, volunteer to teach at children’s centre, teach English to kids, and work at Soba restaurant!
Tours with me!:
I love to make personal connections with my guests, and make you feel like I am your Japanese friend who are taking you around town! I love talking about different topics from shopping, food and even politics! I also love taking candid and posed pictures of my guests for you to look back at this great memory from Japan. If I will be taking you guys around, I will be very excited see and to talk with you a lot and take MANY pictures!
