I like building cool computer apps, extreme unicycling, doodling, looking under rocks for dangerous animals, intellectual conversations and dark chocolate. I have a 9 year old daughter I take on holidays. She likes drawing, painting, planning sleep-overs, play parks and riding her scooter (also learning to unicycle). I'm based in Edinburgh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I plan to visit a few cities in Europe this year, some with my girl, some without. Also looking for a reliable place to stay near Aviemore, as that's where my girl now stays.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm... jumped off a train and lived.. Made an awesome minion birthday cake.. Rode down Arthur seat on a unicycle.. I don't know what people consider "amazing" these days!

I'm good with computers, and sorting non-English people's CVs.
