CURRENT MISSION

Painting graffiti in slums around the world on the "Share the Word" art project.

ABOUT ME

I'm both English and Norman, and both those cultures are very much part of me. I'm a visual artist and work in different slums around the world where I paint graffiti with the "Outsiders Krew". when I'm in Normandy I spend a lot of time doing studio work, drawings, prints, film editing, and preparing art projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I use couchsurfing a lot on my travels, always eager to meet locals along the way. I hope to be able to host travelers when I'm back to a non-nomadic lifestyle.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been couchsurfing for a while, using one account for 2 friends and I as we were traveling together. You can check it out here: www.couchsurfing.org/spagbertin

Interests

I love my job as an artist. Painting, drawing and doing graffiti are what I love doing above all. I'm a keen traveller, but more than that I love to work in different countries. I love football and cycling amonst other sports... And just like to learn about different cultures!
