About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live and work on the road.

ABOUT ME

I've recently completed a bachelors degree in Design Communication. My dream is to be able to support myself creatively while seeing the world. I love creativity and design thinking. I am influenced and inspired by culture, people and places, hence all the travel.

I travel with my partner Patrizia who loves landscape photography, so we tend to scout out early morning sunrises or sunsets on beautiful coastlines.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too important to be taken seriously - Oscar Wilde

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people helps me to get outside my comfort zone, which I believe we all need to do. Especially when travelling to other countries. You can not see a place without talking to its people, you have not been to a place without understanding it's culture.

I am also happy to have a convo or give advice about design or design thinking. Branding, logos, websites, posters, graphics, photoshop/ adobe suite etc.

Interests

Talk to me about creativity, culture, travel, places, people etc.
