Hello

My name is Amy, I'm from Scotland and I love the outdoors and nature, and all things creative! I grew up on a little farm near Edinburgh, I then moved to Glasgow to study art where I got involved hosting DIY art shows and events. I'm passionate about live music, beautiful scenery, cinema and self expression. I'm learning guitar, bass and drums right now, love music.

I'm going on a trip soon to California and Mexico, and I'm looking to connect with people. I want to make art and hang out, go to some open mics and try surfing and snowboarding.

I'm new to this community and dont have any references yet but happy to phone call to first to get each others vibe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make wonderful new friends and have new experiences. Experience your local city in a more authentic way. To learn and grow as a person and hopefully share some good memories. And grateful couchsurfing exists so we can actually afford to do so! As soon as i'm settled somewhere I'll be hosting too, buzzing!
