Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Privacy and comfort are not the most creative environments. I am committed to my art and my story is about people and their lives, travellers seem to have the most exciting things to tell, so I figured this could bring it all together.

Interests

Dancing until I'm drenched in my own sweat.

Drawing until I'm out of Juice.

Meeting people who embrace change, whose lives aren't manipulated by the social media and whose comfort doesn't come from material posessions. Free Thinkers, Artists and Revolutionaries, and People Commited to their crafts.

All that, and a bit of Romance, of course!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the office editing videos for my stable 6 months old job in the industry, and suddenly, like a strike of lightning through my body, I felt the urge to leave that place: "This isn't me" I thought. I got up from my chair, and said these words: "I can't do this anymore. I won't invoice you for today. Thank you, and I'll be in touch". I never went back to the office, instead, I left the appartment to live in a friend's couch, eating stir-fry and free energy bars to follow my passion and do what I always wanted to do: A graphic novel.
