CURRENT MISSION

To step up to the mark.

ABOUT ME

A Scotsman who's often first at the bar and always happy to buy a drink for a friend.

PHILOSOPHY

You've just got to always try to be one of the good guys.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Be polite, be considerate... and hopefully buy a few drinks for a few new friends.

Interests

Most books, most music, most sports. I play guitar... or at least I try to. I like to learn about Latin American history. I like an adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sat on a pier off Caye Caulker in Belize and watched a storm on the horizon light up the sky. There was never any thunder.

Teach, Learn, Share

There were two other musicians on the plane with Buddy Holly when it crashed; they were Ritchie Valens and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson.
