About Me

My partner (Helene) and I are currently travelling through South America and will soon be heading to Canada for the winter.
We live for travel, music, snowboarding and great food. Firm believers in work to live and not the other way around 😊
Love meeting people from other countries amd hearing about their favourite places, way better than reading a guide book.

Only partially verified as we are travelling for a year or so, so we don't have a phone or home address!
We will accept couchsurfers once we move back to Scotland though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Heard this is a great way to meet locals as well as save a few pennies, we are budget travellers but are rich in stories! Plus you get the feel of a place much better when you're staying with locals.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most music (apart from monotonous drum n bass type stuff), I play quite a lot too. I love the piano and my fave instrument is the ukelele.
Massive bookworm, ecelectic collection, everything from Harry Potter to Oscar Wilde.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snowboarded down a volcano in chile

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach piano and ukelele, I'm also a highly qualified ski and snowboard instructor. I have been learning Spanish for a few months in South America, it's not great but I can practice basic conversation.
