我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Heard about the CS though a good friend of mine from Brazil who travelled through India and Asia for 6 months, who loved CS so much.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience with CS was in Zurich in 2008 and it was great - my hosts were super friendly and very welcoming. Since then I've stayed in peoples' couches in Italy and Germany - had a great time, and met really nice, inspiring people.

兴趣

I'm a professional illustrator, and an semi-pro cartoonist :) . Have published some comic books and two children's books. I listening to radio while I work and my favourite shows are Radiolab, about science, and Entitle Opinions, about literature. I'm quite interested in anything. I used to have a little record collection in Brazil, which I listen to around once an year when I visit my parents :). In London, I much prefer live music, where there's no lack of good musicians (little nice venues, though, are increasingly disappearing!).
