I am Chris, from the UK, and currently live in Swansea - the best city in the world.

I love being outdoors, and spending time in nature. Being much more comfortable in the mountains or by the ocean, then in a busy city. Although I do still enjoy exploring any new place. Big fan of hiking and cycling adventures, camping, and a good sunset/sunrise.

I enjoy speaking about a variety of topics, especially conservation, philosophy, your countries history and nutrition. I really like learning peoples interests and being introduced to what you are passionate about.

I found out about couchsurfing during my cycle trip across Europe, and have had some brilliant experiences because of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and cultures. Places are the people and the best way to understand and explore the place is to meet locals.
