I'm a writer/illustrator that loves traveling and meeting people. I currently live in Kingston, Jamaica, although my headquarters are in Vancouver, BC and I hail from Madrid, Spain.

I'm very laid-back and easy-going, and always enjoy a good chat.

I'm in the middle of a career change, moving from advertising and animation to children's books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been both a host and a guest a few times, and I can only recall good times with my fellow couchsurfers.
Having locals showing you around and/or sharing their stories always makes for a greater experience. I also love the philosophy of sharing beyond your close circle.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Picture books are my current obsession. Ezra Jack Keats and Jon Klassen are two of my favorite authors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess having lived in 7 different countries is my biggest feat so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

My childlike sense of wonder is very alive, so I’m a keen learner in general.
I can teach drawing, creative writing, Spanish... In fact I have some experience as an art teacher, both with adults and kids.
