Freelance illustrator and artist in Leeds UK.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people is a big thing for me, I'm always looking for new people to strike up conversations with and share experiences.

I've travelled extensively in the past meeting people and sleeping on floors, and really want to build on the solid group of travelling friends I've got.

Interests

I'm a total nerd for most things, so love passionate conversations about movies, music and books. I spend a lot of my time illustrating so jump at any opportunity to get out of the studio and socialise, be it relaxing with a few pints, going to events or just partying in the city.
