We are an English/Spanish couple 31 and 33 years old.

Both working in Visual Effects, taking a year to travel the world while we work, and become a bit more of a digital nomads.

We mainly use Irene's profile for couch surfing, you can find it here: http://www.couchsurfing.com/people/irene-navarro
But you can contact us via either.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We would love to meet new people alike and connect at a deeper level, immersing in new different ways of living. We aim to gather information and experiences about the computer graphics industry, indie games, dance, and recipes around the world, to share our view through our artistic and technological backgrounds, inspiring others to live with a global mindset. It is a small world, but one that can be hard to navigate, we want to find the best ways to push things forward and help create a better future where we are all more easily connected.

Music, Movies, and Books

It is always difficult to pick, but we both agreed that our top movie which influenced us on our path choice is undeniably Jurassic Park.

We also love animation and our pick is clear as the water in Ponyo, Studio Ghibli.

Dr.Slump and Arale had an impact on who Irene became and her sense of humor, I think it's great too, another fun thing she introduced me to!

Some of our favorite books are:
La catedral del mar, Ildefonso Falcones
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Mark Haddon
The Last Jew, Noah Gordon
The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared, Jonas Jonasson
The Celestine Prophecy, James Redfield
At Home: A Short History of Private Life, Bill Bryson
The Lies of Loche Lamora, Scott Lynch

Teach, Learn, Share

We can teach some vfx generic pipelines. Or more deeply FX with me, and Matte Painting with Irene. Also Creative Retouch for advertising with Photoshop.

We are eager to learn different dances, local games, and discover rare cultural traditions and clothing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We would love to share food recipes, help with english/spanish/french language practice, do handcrafts together, share some 360º photos of places, game nights filled with laughter, or quiet moments listening to the breeze, the sea, or the song of the crickets under a starry sky.
