I am a professional graphic designer working in publishing and film, and currently working on my Masters thesis in History of Design. (I am very passionate about what I do so I might as well put it down as the first line of my bio!)

I love to travel and meet new people, try new experiences and explore the places I visit through the lens of the locals. (Especially if it involves a pint in their favourite neighbourhood bar!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

[I have used CS much more extensively than my profile suggests: however, I wasn't travelling alone and the reviews are on my friends' profiles. Such as our 2016 road trip from Los Angeles to Miami]

I love meeting locals wherever I go, and as I am currently working on a United States-centric subject for my thesis, chatting with real people about their real opinions in real life is an incredible resource.

I will be in Philadelphia in the second half of August 2018, and planning to explore the surrounding areas with what little time i'll have there before returning to London in September.
