Hi, my name is Carwyn and I'm currently solo travelling around Asia and Oceania. Having lived for a year in Norway while studying, I came to love experiencing new cultures and countries. Since then I've spent my time trying to see as much of the world as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having stayed with friends around the world, and had them show me round their cities, I know what a fantastic experience that can be. I'm keen to experience that again with couch surfers on my travels, and to offer this to visitors to Scotland when I arrive back home.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a wide range of books, with a particular interest in science fiction, history, fantasy, foreign authored books and classics. Some books that I've read recently include:

Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
The Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
His Bloody Project by Graeme Macrae Burnet
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Withering Heights by Emily Bronte

I listen to a mixture of different music, including rock, acoustic folk, 80s, hip hop... I'm always up for new recommendations!

The movies I watch tend to be varied. Some of my favourites include:

12 Angry Men
City of God
La Vita Bella

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think I could put quite a few things here, but swimming and camping in the Arctic Circle in the north of Norway.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've always been keen to learn, from my course at university to learning new skills in my free time and attending language lessons. I'm always keen to share what I've learned, and to share my experiences on my travels
