About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Don't have one.

ABOUT ME

I am Nils, I am a free-lance illustrator, here is my website: www.nihils.art
I travel and take commissions while doing it to earn the few money I need to do so.

PHILOSOPHY

I am kind of free spirit, or try to be as much as possible, I love people, communicate and talk with them. I am very adaptable, tend to enjoy everything I do and can accommodate with everything you are.

As a surfer, it's simple: Hotels are boooring, hostels are better, but still boring, couchsurfing is surprising all the time (sometimes in a bad way, but 99% of time it's good)

As a a host, I think of Coushsurfing as a great way to empower people and give them the ability to travel, so many people restrain themselves of that because of the money. If I host you, I don't expect anything from you in return, if we connect, it's great, if you feel better on your own, you are still welcome.

And I love sweets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed a lot and hosted each time I could.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met great people being hosted in several countries, and hosted some of them when they came to Paris.

Interests

I'm specially interested in visual arts, such as drawing, painting, film-making, etc...
But I'm also very interested in politics, philosophy or music.
I also like to go random parties and meet people when it's unexpected and to dance all night long, and I like to see movies at my place or even at the cinema, discover new musics, travel hitchhiking, good food, etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I haven't one thing standing out in front of the others but rather many little adventures that I can share.
-Becoming a resident of Iraqi Kurdistan by chance,
-Hitch-hiking a five star hotel and a plane,
-Go down on the Grand Canyon and up with almost two backpacks,
-96 hours of Transiberian train,
-Vodka party with two girls in Iraq,
-etc

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to draw, traditionnal (observation, anatomy, perpective, color theory, etc...) and digital (graphic tablet).
I can also teach a lot about softwares like Photoshop, After Effect, Première Pro, 3DS Max, etc...
On the other hand, I have experiences, mainly about travel, or tips that we can share, and I could cook some french meal while teaching you french.

Also, I'm at "expert" level in the Paris field, so if you go there, I can give you loads of tips.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm pretty fun, and I think that people like to spend time with me in general.
