I love drawing and stories - reading them, writing them, showing them in comics or animation, and watching them come alive. I also love spending time with animals :)

Another passion of mine is wandering around the planet. I've been traveling on and off for the last 7 years, mostly around the particular planet of Europe - and I'm writing an alternative travel guide to help others do it as well.

I'm also a blogger - I publish comics, stories and videos on topics that range between travel and politics on www.facebook.com/roamingpencil and https://www.instagram.com/roaming.pencil/. My pages can give you a pretty good idea of who I am :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Probably because I'm very curious about people and places - and CS helps me satisfy at least a part of this curiosity :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately I've mostly been reading YA books. I loved Carry On by Rainbow Rowell and I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson.

One of my favorite movies is an animation short: Miracle Lady. It actually inspired me to try and become an animator myself. If you have ten free minutes, you can watch it here:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A Vipassana meditation course - it was life-changing.
Another experience I'm very happy about (or rather a bunch of experiences) was falling in love with things I used to be afraid of, such as rollercoasters, hitchhiking and wildcamping.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with alternative travel advice (hitchhiking, Workaway, Couchsurfing etc) and if you haven't hitchhiked before, you're welcome to join me for your first time!

What I Can Share with Hosts

--Practice different languages (and discuss languages - it's another thing I'm curious about).
--Cook/bake/create by magic tasty (hopefully!) vegan food.
--Listen to your story, whatever it is :)
