Hello!

I'm Bianca Chusyd, I'm 20 years old and I live in São Paulo, Brazil.

I haven't traveled much yet but I want to get on the road as often as possible.

(I'm sorry, but I can't accept travelers because I've been busy and my house is full :( )

I'm a little shy, but I like meeting new people, finding common interests and also learning new stuff! I can be somewhat quiet, but I'm sure we will get along with no problem :)

I'm studying visual arts and I'm interested in illustration/concept art, I really want to work in the TV or game industry someday drawing character designs and such! I'm super passionate about cartoons like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, and old cartoons that I used to watch when I was a kid, like Courage the Cowardly Dog and Ed, Edd and Eddy. I'm very nostalgic about my childhood!

Needless to say, I love drawing and I do it constantly. I've recently started printing my art in the form of zines, prints and stickers to share and sell with others, which has been great fun and a very interesting experience for getting into the independent art world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great option for traveling on a budget and at the same time get to know new people from different countries and cultures!

Music, Movies, and Books

Like most people, I enjoy music and I mostly listen to indie or pop songs; my favorite bands are Tame Impala, Arctic Monkeys, Gorillaz, The XX, DIIV, Crystal Castles, and many many others. I'm a HUGE fan of going to music concerts, and I go to as many as I can!
I'm not too deep on movies but I love Studio Ghibli ones, like Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle, and besides animated movies my favorite genre is teen 90's/2000's movies like 10 Things I Hate About You, Breakfast Club, Juno, Freaky Friday, etc.
I haven't read much lately but I'm a sucker for young adult novels like Harry Potter, A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Hunger Games. Besides that I like The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nightfall and The Book Thief.
Recently I've been reading mostly comics though, be it manga or not, I'm really into it and I hope to write and draw some of my own someday! My favorites are Oyasumi Punpun, Fullmetal Alchemist, Scott Pilgim, and tons of others.
I also love videogames! Some of my favorites are the Pokémon franchise, Animal Crossing, Dragon Age, Undertale, Overwatch, Persona5, etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm looking to exchange experiencies, knowledge and stories with different people, I think the most fun comes from meeting other people through casual talks :)
