Hi! My names Andrew and I've just finished up my final year of university in Scotland. I've always enjoyed travelling and have lived in the US, UK, France and Switzerland. I think meeting locals when travelling is the most important part because there's no better way to learn the culture, and teach someone else about your own.
I grew up in Dallas, Texas (home of the Cowboys!) and then moved to Glasgow for university.
Art and music are big passions of mine and I love to speak about them and learn about new music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new people and gain experiences I wouldn't have in countries if I didn't know the locals.

Interests

I rowed competitively for several years and then took up cycling because it was easier to access. Nothing beats hitting the road on a sunny day.
Take me to an art museum and my day is complete! I could spend hours wandering around talking about what we're looking at.
If you want to talk a little bit of politics (and say horrible things about Donald Trump with me) then lets do it!

• arts
• photography
• reading
• cycling
• political science

Music, Movies, and Books

Varies widely from jazz to American folk, and funk to rock.
Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles (nothing beats the White Album), Beirut, , Ben Folds, A$AP Rocky, Muse, The Cranberries, Bob Dylan, etc. etc.
I love Wes Anderson and Stanley Kubrick, so pretty much all of their films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to France not knowing French and left a year later fluent.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversation, good jokes (I like to think, but they are mainly dad jokes), a drinking buddy, my culture.
Lifelong friendship and somewhere to stay in Scotland if you ever visit!
