Hello! My name is Carmen :) I'm a purchaser at an art supply store by day, and an artist by night. I love travelling, exploring, and making art!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm taking an extended break to visit family in Japan and travel around. I don't have any solid plans and would love to meet new people! I would also really love help learning Japanese (I'm just learning on my own at the moment), and can teach English in return!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked on a farm in a small town in Norway for about a month. I took care of ponies, horses, sheep, goats, cats, and one donkey :)
