*Feb 2025 update* I created this profile when I was traveling with my friend Hannah but I'm currently traveling solo. I will update my profile if we travel together in the future* Currently preparing for my #1 bucket list destination: JAPAN 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, 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!
