About Me

I am a traveling muralist, and street artist, and tattooist. I have been into traveling since I was young, and will always love to move around. I'm 27, fulltime artist, and very easy going personality. I love to joke around and make the best out of any situation. I try to be very respectful, and open minded to as many people as I meet, and enjoy finding out and understanding different cultures that I go meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im on couchsurfing to meet new people, make new friends, spread my art around the world, and have awesome new experiences.

Interests

I'm really interested in all forms of art, from classical to graffiti. I like checking the art scene in each city, and painting murals wherever I am. I am a also a traveling tattoo artist and would love to do more with new people as well (if interested.)

I love to cook and learn new recipes from different places I go. I really like to cook breakfast, and sweeter things if I had to chose a favorite style to cook.

I really just love to walk around and explore new cities as well, maybe bike around too is great to check out things. and draw everywhere.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite kinds of music would be hip hop, jazz, reggae, blues, and maybe some chill dj's. I really get down with any type of music, and think its great to never really just listen to one type of bands. So I love to hear what others are listening to and expand my collection of music, but if I would just choose my basics it'd be hip hop for the most part.

For the most part I kinda just like good movies. The last 5 movies that I liked recently were: morris from america, hunt for the wilderpeople, the green room, theeb, and tangerine.

As for books, it's been a while since I actually sat down to read one, but I am usually paging through books about different cultural stories, or folklore and myths. I have a lot of interest in good storytelling, and seeing how different people create stories throughout the heritage.. So anthropology of things and origins really interest me in books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did a one day hike up to the top of giant mountain in Brazil.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I can teach or at least just demonstrate how being positive and open minded can make your life kinda work itself out pretty consistently. If you'd like me to actually teach something, maybe can do something doing street art, or cooking recipes.

I think the whole experience of living with unknown people is a pretty big learning experience. Couchsurfing really only works with sharing things, so I'm hoping I get the chance to share myself to others during my time traveling, and exchange good times and new stories with each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to maybe paint a mural for someone's spot, or do a tattoo for them would be awesome too. But I think at the minimum to share just some good company and some relaxed humor is what I can give to most people who meet me.
