ABOUT ME
I finally went to Barcelona and Oporto this christmas! Didn't take advantage of CS because I know people there and never had a moment.
I draw, comics and illustrations. I read, cook, bike, sometimes I watch a tv series all the way through while working on a project.... this gets monotonous pretty quickly, though, so it's always good to meet new people and remind myself how big and interesting the world is.
PHILOSOPHY
Why not?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Surf on my couch!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have slept on friends (and friends of friends) couches all around France, Germany, and I've slept in parks in London, Holland and BCN. Don't do that. That was before this site, I'd definitely have preferred a couch.
Interests
Music (mostly listening, but also vaguely trying to learn accordion), Illustration, reading (usually sci-fi or classics but I'm getting more into contemporary stuff now), film, writing, cooking, biking, history, geography, good conversation...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I just spent New Years in Oporto and saw the fireworks off the Ponte do Infante at midnight. This sounds so cool but actually I enjoyed the bike ride to and along the Atlantic with my friend even more.
Teach, Learn, Share
The best philosophy I ever traveled with was "No Expectations". Now if I could just live my life with that philosophy...
