I am a freelance artist and (children's book) illustrator. With my art project Traveling Sketchbook I meet artists from all over the world. (Instagram: @travelingsketchbook)

Couchsurfing is great and inspiring, I would love to get more of these awesome experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer visiting places to learn about the culture and country and not only do touristic things. Doing it with locals seems the best way to do that!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music but I am terrible in naming them and making my own playlists. Jazz, soul, pop, singer songwriter etc. I do love Ludovico Einaudi almost any time.

I like movies but horror/thriller is not made for me. I prefer Pixar/Disney movies! • "Hoe duur was de suiker?" & "Les Intouchables"

Self help books are my thing at the moment. I love children's books and picture books, all inspiration.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not doing the East Coast of Australia to just stay in Melbourne to illustrate, explore the city and meet other artists and learn a lot of new things.

Teach, Learn, Share

Never give up on your dream, believe in yourself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since I am very interested in travel stories I am looking forward to hear their stories, but also can share mine. I like to inspire people and I love making art, so I might draw something for them. And also would love to walk your dog or play games with you -watch out I am fanatic
