My name is Ignacio (Nacho) Corva. I am a freelance illustrator and musician.

I will be travelling with my girlfriend Camila Suero. She not only plays the piano, accordion and flute but also acts and has a bachelor's degree in sociology.

I compose and arrange songs for my septet (Simbiosis) which combines elements of jazz, pop and classical music with argentinian and latin-american folk rythms.

We also have a Duo in which I play guitar and she plays accordion and sings.
As a duo we play songs from the argentinian popular songbook, including Tango, argentian folk and other latin american rythms, as well as original songs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are planning on touring around europe this year from August to October.
We think this is a great way for us to let our music take us to new places and meet new people.

Interests

I consider myself to be a very curious person. Having grown up in a very multicultural environment I am always on the lookout for new experiences, sounds, flavours and people to make friends with.

I am absolutely passionate about music in all it's forms. I also love drawing and painting with all my heart.

Cami is not only the most kind hearted person I know, but she is also an amazing musician and a breathtaking singer.
She has a great love for Theatre and Cinema, music and visual arts.
