I'm Matt, your quintessential globe-trotter and a certified cultural enthusiast. You know how people study International Relations and think they're all global? Well, I've taken it up a notch and visited 79 countries - yup, 75 of them are UN members if you're into stats and trivia! By day (and sometimes by night), I am a tech enthusiast, consultant, civil society advocate, and a software project manager. But let's be honest, my heart lies in exploring the corners of the world and connecting with people from all walks of life. I've made friends in the most unexpected places and I'm pretty sure I could negotiate a peace treaty between two rival ant colonies if I had to! As a proud European, I consider myself a citizen of this beautifully diverse continent. I can go from a heated debate about the intricacies of Polish pierogi to Italian politics and even guide you through a dense German philosophy book - all while plotting my next travel adventure on a world map. But don't let my serious side intimidate you. I love a good laugh and I'm just as comfortable discussing quantum physics as I am sharing hilarious travel stories over a campfire. With me around, there's never a dull moment! So, are you ready to embark on an adventure? Because I sure am! Just send me a request and let's fill our travel diaries with unforgettable stories. After all, who wouldn't want their friendly neighbourhood IT guy to also be their epic travel guide?
