Hello and welcome to my profile. My name is Chris and I've been travelling the world solo for the past 6 years.

• Please note that I am very tall (195cm/6'5") and may be uncomfortable in some sleeping arrangements.

• I am triple vaccinated (2 doses plus booster).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like travelling slow and avoid standard tourist activities, instead preferring to share experiences with people that live locally. Platforms like Couchsurfing and Workaway are massively helpful to me when I look to engage with local communities around the world.
