ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Matt, nice to meet you. I'm chugging along in life looking for the right place to go next. At the time of writing this I feel like I'm in between periods spent in education, but the world of work is a great education in itself too. I love travelling, reading and writing, eavesdropping in cafes, crosswords, museums, dancing (badly), good films with good snacks, my friends and making new friend.

PHILOSOPHY

Freedom is being able to truly care about other people and to sacrifice for them in a myriad of petty little unsexy ways, everyday.
