Hey I'm Lina (pronounced "Lee-nah") and I haven't been on CS for a while! But I missed it dearly!

I'm a student who also works as an illustrator and designer and loves exploring cities and meeting new people! I joke around a lot, try to be empathatic and kind and talk a lot about music and TV shows. I'm pescetarian (fancy way of saying I don't eat meat but sometimes fish), I sketch comics, I sit around a lot, daydream and meet friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's obviously a great website. I met some really great people thanks to CS! It's also my favourite way of getting to know cities: By staying with a local.

Interests

Hello, I study illustration so it's kind of like studying my hobby. Also I love watching tv shows and have seen a lot of them (if you know a good one let me know) and I'm pretty much neglecting my fitness, especially since I stopped going to roller derby practice.
If I go out then mostly to meet friends in a café or to go to the park. Also at night to go to a bar or to concerts. Or both!

Teach, Learn, Share

Currently learning to take breaks if I need them. Am I getting old?

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of useless knowledge about pop-culture.
Also I believe that anyone can learn to draw and I'd be happy to teach you how to create comics or design characters!
Oh and I play the piano and a bit of ukulele so I could give you beginner's lessons. (If instruments happen to be around.)
