Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be completely honest: I am looking for a new home and a new life in Rotterdam, a city I immediately felt in love a couple of years ago. My boyfriend is in Osaka for studying until Febraury 2020, but we hope he can join me as soon as possible after that. Unfortunately at the moment I am writing I do not have so much money left because being an illustrator in Italy is very hard and I have nobody to ask for it. So I am staying in the city and hope to do as much job interview as I can. I would be very glad if you can help me!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a lot of movies, really, I am not able to choose one, but maybe the old Solaris is the one I have found to be truly magnificient and perfect. I enjoy science fiction a lot, I love strange and misterious stories about space. My favorite books are Kafka on the shore, Crime and Punishment, Randevouz with Rama and The Stranger (from Albert Camus). I also love Michail Bulgakov! Comics are also a thing I do love, I think Osamu Tezuka is one of the greatest author I had the pleasure to know. I am also deeply passionate about animation, so I love watching movies and cartoons, even for pure references.
I listen to different genres of music: I like Milo, Boards of Canada, Kendrick Lamar, but they are the first that come to my mind. Jazz, math rock and electronic in general are my favorite at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day I sat on a park, I looked at my feet and I found the most significant thing I could find.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to draw! I have a method which is proven to work and I am also a good teacher and observer, you just have to be patience because my English is improving so maybe it can be a little tricky to me to explain some passages, but I'll definitely do my best!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help with everthing needed, I can also cook and clean the house. I am good with children and I also love animals!
