Well, then:
ABOUT ME

After completing my school education i worked as an independent artist for one and a half year. Ever since i´ve been cooperating with ivan, my boyfriend, on a few computergames, contributing 2d graphics.

I did one year of japanology at university in Vienna , where i learned a lot about Japan and japanese in very little time.
も少し日本語を話せます。 :)
Now I'm in Milan to study comics.

I´m a sociable, relaxed but lively person. And also not very punctual. :~)

I like to chat about all kind of things, always curous to understand that which I don't know yet. I'm basically interested in everything - knitting, agriculture, restauration, natural science, martial art, cooking, philosophy, cultures, ..... you name it.

PHILOSOPHY

Live is like drawing without an ereaser.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have used couchsurfing very rarely, but I´m delighted that this wonderful community actually seems to work so well!
So far i´ve encountered friendlyness in hosts and hosted. It´s a great experience to share customs, stories and food when coming together.

Interests

Traveling of course! I´m SO interested in everything that´s to be seen in the world, meeting new people, getting to know other lives/livestyles.

I like languages from a (hobby-) musicians, linguists, psychologists and sociologists point of view.

I love drawing and painting and do so a lot.

Music has always held a very special place in my life, ever since I was little. I love to sing and I wish people would make more music themselves even nowadays.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Grenada, a small carribean island, with my parents when i was a child. Wandering the beaches, jungle and small towns, meeting the people there.
Probably still some of the best memories in my entire life.

Teach, Learn, Share

During training myself in human anatomy - mostly on my own, during the early days - i started doing miniseries, specialised on femal anatomy:
"grasping (how to draw) boobs":

Part three: http://the-loony.deviantart.com/art/a-quick-tutorial-on-Boobs-III-26550034

It´s old material - a lighthearted attempt to get to know the physique of women and it might give you some ideas if you´re a beginner/intermediate who wants to study in a not entierly serious way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I´m not equipped with a guest bed or couch at the moment, which is regrettable.
