*9/2023 update* I typically use this profile when I'm traveling with my bestie, Hannah but am currently traveling solo. I will update my profile to reflect whether it is just me or the both of us.*

Hi! my name is Matthew and I'm a nomadic traveler out enjoying the world!

(Vegan) foodie who enjoys design, modern art, movies/documentaries, laughing, hiking, swimming, yoga, meditation, attending ceremony (cacao/Reiki/etc.), star gazing, and all the 'little' things in life.

I enjoy solitude in my travels, but always look forward to socializing and getting to know couchsurfing hosts!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want the unique experience of meeting locals and getting to know the area rather than just being tourists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to Ireland for Offset Creative Conference where I met some of the biggest names in the design industry such as Stefan Sagmeister, Jessica Hische and Shepard Fairey.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught courses at the university level, so I can teach a lot about design and creative software!
