About Me

I'm a travelling freelance graphic designer looking for new experiences in different cities.
I love "touristy" stuff, but I prefer to see the REAL side of a city and embrace the local culture.

I can play guitar (a little) and can keep a decent rhythm on a djembe if you want to jam? :P
I drink a lot of tea. I also like a good beer. Basically, I'm good for any social environment! WIN, WIN!

I'm also allergic to dogs / cats but will willingly suffer to cuddle either. I can't help myself.

Let's hang out?
