Philly cheesesteak

Today I reached Philadelphia. Just got here 3 hours ago but the first impression is very good. I am staying at a hostel downtown. Somehow I find $35 to share a room with 15 other guys a little steep. But I had no choice as all my (20+) attempts to Couchsurf in the U.S. have failed so far. To be fair, I should mention that indeed I was offered one couch in Washington DC. But this guy said in his email that we would share the room and that he sleeps naked. Errr… I decided to turn down his generous offer…
It’s time crash couches of friends I am visiting (Evelyn & Stephan: I am on my way) or move on to Central and South America for my wallet to recover.
By the way, I am stupid. Part of my 1 year mission here is to make some contact with other science illustrators. I recently came across the website of someone who is freelancing in this area just like me. This was the reason I decided to stop by Philadelphia. Today I tried to remember the website of that guy, went through my list of bookmarks one by one but guess what: I can’t find it! I have no idea what his name was or website was called and a google search didn’t help. Oh well, my life is as chaotic as ever…
