Scottish lad on an adventure! Friendly and down-to-earth, I love hearing other people's stories and learning about life in other parts of the world.

Edinburgh has been my home for the last 10 years, apart from stints living in North Carolina and New Zealand. I have worked for the NHS and more recently qualified as a sports massage therapist.

For now I've left that behind and am making my way around eurasia, seeing where the journey takes me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people, learning about other cultures and sharing experiences with people from around the world. I think the best way to travel is by meeting the locals and I want to make it easy for others to explore my own city.
