** update ** I (Katy) will be using Couch surfing on this next trip. I am an artist and illustrator. I'm friendly and like getting to know new environments and the people that live in them.

This year, I'm excited abut attending the Bolongna children's picture book fair! I would love to couch surf with a friendly person who knows the are well and can introduce me to the joys of the city.

*Update* Abe and Katy are now married! Yippeee! And on our way to move to Cape Town where we're hoping to surf a few sofas and meet some good humans.

**UPDATE** Abe and Katy are living in Cape Town and are looking to get to see the city with new eyes and take in travelers who want to see more of the Southern Peninsula. Bring some grub to put in the pot and a bottle and let the conversations unfold.
