I'm pursuing my dreams.

No really, I am.

You see, I've been studying architecture and it just didn't click for me (it took me 5 years to realize this). So now, with nothing to lose I switch directions and decided to study Animation in the UK.

I'm a big fan of art and stories. I love collecting artist both old and modern, whether in museums and galleries or on Deviantart and Tumblr. I love painting in watercolor and ink and I absolutely love illustrating books and binding them.

I hope one day to be skilled and hard-working enough to create and animate stories in the vain of Miyazaki, Song of the Sea and The Prince of Egypt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love seeing the spark of wanderlust in peoples eyes. The most interesting individuals I've ever met were the ones who were on a journey. So one day I decided I wanted to be on a journey myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Why one?

Watched the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy in one day. The extended cuts.
Slept on the beach for a windy night just to see the sunrise glimmer on the sea .
Helped build a traditional Transylvanian house out of pine wood and boulders.
Rescued a baby sparrow who fell out of a nest.
Did 20 pushups once, some time in the past. Totally happened, pinky swear.
Build a beautiful miniature house for a friend's wedding.
Recited a Shelley poem on a mountain in Transylvania, while glancing at a full moon at 4 AM. If I was a Buddhist, that would've been fig tree moment.
Spent a 2 weeks in Bucharest just drawing people on the street during the day and illustrating my vision for Snow-White during the night.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll do your portrait :D or of someone you know in case you forgot their birthday or anniversary. Happens to everyone.

Apart from that I can share with you my GINORMOUS art collection! in the form of printed books I carry with me on my journeys for inspiration.

Apart from that I can teach you how to draw, sketch, design your website and social media pages. I can also play a mean fiddle.

And if you like flowers, you'll probably end up with a nice bouquet or a vase of flowers after we part.
