Friendly gay Scotsman who loves my city. I love learning the culture of others and teaching people the culture of mine. Currently I am learning to speak Japanese so anyone that can have basic conversations with me are most welcome. I can only host at weekends. If you request other days I will assume you have not read my profile and will not answer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, provide them with the opportunity to travel, and also to travel myself.

I would lovevto practice my Japanese with any one who can speak the language.

I'm extremely sociable and I want to expand my worldwide social network.

Couchsurfing is not an extension of dating apps and do not come into my home assuming so please. I just want to meet interesting people from all races, nationalities, genders and sexualities.
