CURRENT MISSION

"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." -Joseph Campbell

ABOUT ME

I am Debo, a Franco-American painter, currently residing in Paris. I'm a bit shy at first but I open up fast. I love art, I'm currently learning how to read the Tarot, I enjoy talking about the universe and existentialism. I also love mythology and a good laugh... I guess that's the best short description I can give for now.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for art and love and stories. I love mythology and iconography, I feel that they are here to guide us and teach us lessons about life and the universe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking forward to meeting new people and opening my eyes to new experiences. I want an adventure and I would like to go through some self discovery. I love meeting people and would enjoy doing some portraits of those that I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to couchsurf, I've just been waiting for the right trip to come along, I think this one may be it :)

I love film, favorites include Annie Hall, La Strada, The Dreamers, Le Roi et l'Oiseau...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My amazing things are very small in scale. For me my most amazing things come out of painting, amazing is that moment of joy when you feel that you've done something well, the satisfaction in your work. This has only happened to me less than a handful of times but it truly is one of the most amazing things I have experienced in my life.
