Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
I am traveling around South America and I have hosted a couch surfer before. It seems like the best way to get to know a city and the people that you stay with are a magical part of the journey. I want to keep track of all the people I meet on my journal and draw a portrait of each one. This will be very important for my next series of art pieces which I will start as soon as I settle down. I've always been fascinated and dominated by other people and couch surfing seems like the perfect opportunity. And we will welcome everyone back to our home as soon as we settle :)
Musique, films et livres
Reggae music and laid back acoustic guitar; cultura profetica, los cafres, Gondwana, bob Marley, jack Johnson, John Mayer, Andres calamaro, jarabe de palo, etc. I don't watch much tv, but I love documentaries and movies about artists, such as Frida khalo, I am (the documentary), lords of dogtown, diario de motocicletas, slum dog millionaire, etc Books I enjoy philosophy books a lot, aldous huxley, Kafka, Sartre, Simone de bouvaire, Nietzsche, Kant, Foucault, love: paulo coelho!!
Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
I was part of the muralist team that painted the 4th largest mural in the United States, in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
