I'm a design graduate, recently moved back into my parental home and currently working on a variety of projects before taking the next step in post-graduate life. On a personal level I am 21 years old, gay and British of Irish descent.

I am currently working freelance as a copywriter and designer, you can view a selection of my work here if you're interested: sw-design.org. I am a fiercely passionate person who enjoys all aspects of life, I have a desire to see the world which is one reason I am delaying the mundanity of everyday life and 'settling down'.

I have a great sense of humour, I find people fascinating and I'm always up for new experiences and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My current daily job is freelance and incredibly flexible so most of the time I am writing from my home. Whilst I am working from home, a thought occurred to me that I could be completing this work anywhere on earth with an internet connection so I am looking to explore and travel whilst working.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled throughout Southern Africa last summer after finishing my degree and it was one of the most rewarding and eye opening experiences of my life.
