ABOUT ME

Better than words, here is my website : www.marinerivoal.com

I laught all the time, kind and easy-living. Sociable, patient, I am a french author & illustrator for children book. I am also an engravor artist. I regulary work for museums or schools, do workshops with art students, kids or adults.

Interrest in publishing, graphic arts, animation (I am actually working on a short animation movie for french TV) , prints and books fascinate me, music, travel and good food too.

I often travel with my boyfriend artist too, don't be surprise if i arrive with a small (and kind) guy in my backpack :)
We both draw a lot during our travel, it's a nice way to meet people, to engage the conversation, to keep a memory.

PHILOSOPHY

Take advantage today, you can be overturned tomorrow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many of my friends passed there, to travel and meet people, I heard only good of it (and I minimize!) then why do not begin it's looks great when you are alone in a new country and it's a really smart way to travel, to meet real people. I'll be glad to help other, and to teach other french language or recipe, or anything else.
