About Me

visual designer & creative copywriter working at a cute advertising agency for now. I'm always a keen learner and have interests in screen printing, tattooing (just started learning it!), travelling, reading, drumming and such. I promise to be a fun guest at your place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel my main goal is to meet new people. That simply can't be done by staying at a hotel, wandering around alone. Couchsurfing is the best opportunity to meet new people & prioritize what matters most.

Interests

I've been screen printing for over 2 years now. It's the best way to transfer your artwork into surfaces like wood, fabric, leather and such. I'm an illustrator working on women's rights and feminism which makes my drawings almost crucial to adapt on garments.

I've recently bought a tattoo gun for myself, started doing little pieces on my own. I'm always open minded and enthusiastic about new skills, that's why I try to learn everything I want to expertise about.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of genres except pop, maybe 90's smash pop excluded.
I love Kendrick Lamar, Porcupine Tree, Dredg, Warpaint specifically. I love rap, progressive rock and folk genre wise. As long as it gives you the goose bumps, any tune goes, really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My handmade screen printed Kendrick Lamar dress. It's unique, and made by my own hands. I love it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my unlimited sarcasm and excellent capacity to drink! What else do you need?

Countries I’ve Visited

Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, United States
