ABOUT ME

Hello!! I'm 25, from Edinburgh and now taking some time out to work and travel. I Recently quit my job as a graphic designer to return to education to get my well anticipated degree in graphic design. I have a keen interest in all, inquisitive and eager to learn new things. People who know me best know that I take forever to start and finish self-initiated projects :D but it's my creativity and enthusiasm that drives me to do them in the first place. I'm Scottish/Italian, as in I am Scottish by birth and Italian through family origins, people wouldn't class me as the stereotypical Scotsman, then again what is one meant to be? surely not any representation from 'The Simpsons" ahahah that's right groundskeeper Willie! I have never worn a kilt though it's my mission to get one made (my surname suggest no Scottish ties, thus hard to know my clan tartan) :S Anyway this is some stuff about me. I love cheese, I occasionally make fudge but don't particularly love it, and generally not fussy when it comes to food. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Riding shotgun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by traveling and meeting new and interesting people, sharing personal experiences and encouraging others to visit my lovely home, Edinburgh. Giving back the same great hospitality and friendship I have received through CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great experiences, have met some lovely people which I would love to keep in touch with. The whole CS thing is great and it's a great community to be part of.

Interests

A keen appreciation of good design, be it graphic or industrial. I love typography and go crazy for any ridiculously oversized TYPE. I love taking photographs, and secretly aspire to be a part-time photographer SHHHH!!! Playing the guitar though I've been a beginner for almost 10 years. I enjoy most sports, but rarely follow any other than F1 and MototGP :) I also love anything mechanical, bit of a petrol head and will one day have my own personal workshop and restore old classic cars and bikes for the sheer fun of it! :D
