I am a traveling visual artist from a small town in Arizona. I work part of the year as a field consultant working with social enterprises around the world coaching a mindfulness approach to sales and management. I am inspired by new environments, our natural world, and culture. I love the challenge of learning to adapt outside of my comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard wonderful things about Couchsurfing and I would like to give it a try. I am fairly nomadic nowadays with work and I think this is an incredible way to travel affordably while meeting new people.

Interests

I love everything about Oil painting. The blending of colors, manipulating shapes, and the process of adding depth through layers upon layers. It’s captivating. I want others to have this experience by looking at my art. I want to evoke the feeling of awe, emotions, questions, inspiration, adventure, and change. I feel like it is my destiny to share the beauty of this world, the universe, and culture through my art. I hope my vision inspires others to tap into their creative side, their spiritual nature, and create a universe of their own. --- If you would like to see what I create you can find me on Instagram - @annaireneart

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open to learning anything.

I love collaborating if you like to paint or want to learn how to. I'm happy to have a painting/drawing sesh.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am aware of how much our environment affects us which is why I like to keep mine organized and tidy. I would be happy to help keep things clean around the house.

I love to cook and share meals with other people if you want to cook together.
