ABOUT ME

I have a hard time describing myself. I'm both a crazy extrovert who speaks to EVERYBODY out of the blue and a rather quiet person who in a conversation spends most of the time listening.

I'm an artist/illustrator. I do environments and backgrounds for videogames and animation, and I also paint traditionally from time to time.
I have a website with my work http://www.anandaaran.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted and surfed a few times, I used to go to every weekly meeting in Kraków and I've met a lot of people through CS.

Feel free to write to me if you're looking for someone to hang out with. I write random messages to strangers all the time, it's cool, a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

scuba diving. being alone for like an hour at the Karnak Temple because at the closing time the guards took all the thousand tourists out but didn't notice me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can and love to teach drawing, as I wholeheartedly believe that there is no such thing as talent and virtually everybody can get good at it. If you're already into it, we could hang out and share points of view :D
I can obviously help with Spanish, also English or Polish if you're ok with my funny accent.
Teach me Russian and suffer my rusty French!
