我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I defenitely am living the artists life and could use a hand and a couch from a generous individual or couple who doesnt mind getting their portrait done by me. and the great conversations regarding art, the creative process and life.
Currently back in NYC. but planning to travel again soon. Defenitely Edinburgh again next year.
