About Me

I'm travelling with my girlfriend Abby to see the world and visit eco villages and intentional communities. Our plans include Edinburgh, Findhorn, Barcelona, Colorado, Florida, Cuba and Mexico.

I've also traveled solo, backpacking through north and south america, australasia and south east asia for 5 years, I love meeting new people and seeing new places. I used to work 9 to 5 for 10 years, now I work as little as possible :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed a few times on my travels and really enjoyed the experience. This year I also hosted in the Isle of Man at my parents farm. When I was in Australia I hosted couchsurfers in my van as I drove across the outback.

Interests

I love photography, especially taking photos of wild animals, I'm only an amateur. Activities, anything adventurous and non competitive, don't see the need to be better than anyone else, or beat other people, I just do things because I enjoy doing them.

I help an orphanage in Thailand called Baan San Fan, its more of a big loving family, they also do organic farming, beautiful place, highly recommend a visit.
