Love cycling, hiking, and sketch & drawing.
I used to be a full-time animator, but decided I was happier making art for myself and not for other people's profit.

Travel Plans: London and Barcelona in May, and northern Japan in winter (Aomori or Sapporo)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people, and enjoy talking to a total stranger, even for a brief moment.
I cherish those connections, and that's why I'd rather couchsurf than sleep on a fluffy mattress with Egyptian cotton spreads. Not that I would object if that's what you have around and out for me.
But really, I'll be fine with a pillow and a blanket.

Interests

I'm a lifelong art student with penchants for all things geeky.
That includes film, animation, speculative fiction, cycling, and stargazing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can dance to anything. Even Gregorian chants. I'm also a Metallica fan and love English rock bands, but I usually listen to instrumental music or soundtracks because lyrics have power over me brain.

I love books by Neil Gaiman, and especially enjoyed The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I also adore Sir Terry Pratchett, R.I.P.

My favorite film is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My very first 100km Gran Fondo last year in Korea !

Teach, Learn, Share

If you'd like, I can show you how to draw a person, and also do a quick drawing for you and those you love.
I'm also always up for a language exchange :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Basics: I don't smoke, snoop, steal food, sneak in anything/anyone without clear approval from who I'm staying with. I'm a clean, neat person.

Food & Drinks: I can whip up decent salads and Korean/Japanese soups.
I'm always up for a night out in the neighborhood.

Pets: I'm a general animal lover. My love does not extend to spiders or insects though, please keep your beloved tarantula in its cage. Thank you.
