ABOUT ME

This is one of the most difficult things to write and i am sure you will form your opinion when you meet me , but i will try!! I am Scottish, from Bridge of Allan, near Stirling and i currently live in Glasgow. I work in the arts, mainly working with community groups to make group art works, and have a great interest in integration and regeneration through art projects. I enjoy bringing people together and love meeting new people from different cultures. I love travelling and finding out how people live all over the world. I have a particular interest in Latin America and recently spent a year living in Argentina, getting to know my family who live in Patagonia and enjoying the latino way of life. My friend once described me as 'perpetually optimistic, even when in floods of tears'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently living in Patagonia and plan to travel throughout Argentina, and hopefully some of South America when i have holidays. I love to meet new people and find out about the country i am travelling in and would love to both couch surf or meet other members for a drink, for them to show me the place where they live. When i get back to Glasgow i hope to be able to host people and show them around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in Mozambique, i was almost out of air and we were 30m down, when suddenly a massive colony of Manta Rays started shooting out like giant spaceships all around us. It was the first time they had been seen for 3 months. I spent the next 10 minutes sharing air with the other members of the dive group before coming up through a massive cloud of jelly fish. We then passed a Whale Shark on our way back to shore and swam above it. AMAZING.
