CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy Life!

ABOUT ME

Hello fellow wanderers.

I have a number of interests mostly involving the outdoors such as climbing, walking (or hiking if you prefer and fell-running. I especially enjoy travelling and exploring new places be they wild remote far off countries or even just the mountains around my home in the Lake District or in Snowdonia. I'm a bit of a twitcher (birdwatcher) and also am developing my skills as a Botanist. I also enjoy playing my guitar, reading and I have an interest in almost anything at all from Ancient history too particle physics.

I have got a job at Glen Nevis SYHA for the summer and I can't wait to start. It would be great to meet some people from the area particularly if you share my interest in mountains!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is meant to be enjoyed by all so do what you enjoy and try to enhance other peoples enjoyment

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people from all around the world both when I am in the UK and when I am travelling, if anyone wants advice on anywhere to visit in the UK I am happy to recommend places. I would also be happy to act as an informal tour guide while people are in the local area. When I go travelling I would love to meet local people who could do the same for me.

Happy travels!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a good knowledge of Britain, especially its mountain areas (history, natral history, geology etc).
General mountaineering and walking techniques (navigation etc). I have completed both my ML and SPA training and will be doing my assesments for both in the near future.
I'm a bit of a birdwatcher and an amateur botanist so I might be able to help with any identifications or I could show people some of my favourite sites
