I am a little bit of everything, because I like changes and starting from a beginning.
So, I have experience of working as a manager in an office for 5 years, but now I am a freelance illustrator (I love freedom, I love drawing, and especially while traveling!). I organize comics workshops, I create visual things for a puppet theare, I translate Japanese movies from Japanese language and I am teaching Japanese language too (in order not to forget it. I used to live in Japan for 6 years). Also doing some job at the Art academy... And I am a mother of 14 year old boy. Now I don't drink alcohol. Don't smoke. And I am vegetarian. I do yoga every morning. And read books before going to sleep :) Because of my son's school I am not so free to travel, but I travel whenever I can because I get inspiration for my drawings this way and it is the best way to relax. My goal is to become a traveling-drawing-Indiana Jones!! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My budget is not so big and travelling together with my son makes it even tighter, so sometimes I will be looking for budget stays in expensive countries. And of course I expect I can meet new friends this way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
