You can see what I have been up to here on my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chadwalks/
Cannot update my profile picture on here, my hair is much longer now!

Fun, loving, caring guy, I'm a good listener and love to hear peoples stories of how they got where they are. I can either seem really shy or really confident but most times I have been abroad have been solo trips to explore a new side of life and different ways of living.

I'm also ginger, so burn easy.

Previous travels:
Went solo hiking and camping in the south of Sweden for a month in 2017 along with visiting other parts of Denmark and Sweden and hiked along the kings trail in the north. Visiting again I would definitely need to revisit and spend longer in Gothenburg to see the archipelagos. I also spent a month travelling around and hitchhiking through central Europe.

Current travels:
I began this trip in May 2018 arriving in Bulgaria from London by coach (53 hour journey!), travelling through Eastern Europe, the Balkans and Turkey.
I have since hopped over to Sri Lanka and Thailand exploring parts of South East Asia, as well as East Asia in Korea and Japan.
After Japan, I began my travels in Peru to explore South America but Peru may be one of my final destinations. I have spent 3 months here and it's getting closer to time to head home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't always use couchsurfing but when I do it can be a good way to learn more about local life and culture, especially when I'm struggling with the language 😅

Interests

If I had a better tent I would camp more often! I love my sleeping bag :)
