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&#8230;  I decided to turn down his generous offer&#8230;<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s time crash couches of friends I am visiting (Evelyn &#038; Stephan: I am on my way) or move on to Central and South America for my wallet to recover.<br \/>\nBy 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&#8217;t find it! I have no idea what his name was or website was called and a google search didn&#8217;t help. Oh well, my life is as chaotic as ever&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I reached Philadelphia. Just got here 3 hours ago but the first impression is very good.
