I’m an easygoing Scotsman looking to experience new parts of the world over the next few months whilst I have a break from working. I love nature, from being on top of a mountain all the way to diving under the sea. I am a very open minded and considerate person and hope to make new friends to share memorable experiences along my way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on a career break and am planning to travel in Europe and Asia. It would be great to meet new people to share some experiences with and to make some friends from different parts of the world.

Interests

I’m open to trying new sports, especially water sports.

I love listening to live music wether in a bar, at a concert or in the street.

• music
• hiking
• sailing
• physics
• ukulele
• climbing
• watersports
• buddhist philosophy

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a wide range of music taste and it's very dependent on the environment I'm in. Rock, jazz, blues, EDM all have their place. I was recently in Ireland and fell in love with the Irish Trad music.

I tend towards the more independent movies when browsing on Netfilx. Something gritty, quirky or slightly odd will get my attention. I love going to the cinema for the immersive experience.

I mostly read non-fiction but looking to broaden my horizons whilst travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think my favourite experience has been spending 10 days at a retreat in a Buddhist monastery in Nepal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning to play the ukulele at the moment - would be great to learn how to jam with other musicians.

I've done a lot of dinghy sailing int he past. I've not done it for a few years but it's like riding a bike, you never forget. I'd be happy to take anyone out on a boat (weather dependent).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m more than happy to cook, clean and help with anything else.
