I love to paint, draw, read, write and hike but my biggest dream is to get my magazine to be as big as Rolling Stone or Time or National Geographic and bring people together through art all over the world, as well as introduce brand new artists to the world, and use portions of the magazine profits to build art centers for youth across the country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for a few things: a new adventure, things to write about, experience to gain so that I can tell my readers and maybe future children about, and a place to stay until I get my feet on the ground.

Interests

Anything in the arts.

• arts

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a few words here and there in Latin and Ilocano/Tagalog as well as how to draw hands, I want to learn more about different art forms and traveling and people and witchcraft, and I can share cigarette rolling skills, paintings, laughs and a willingness to earn my keep.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer hosts my ambition, my ability to clean, organize AND design/decorate masterfully, home cooked meals (albeit often from recipes), and an open heart and mind.
