Hello!
My name is David, my nickname is Davbo, and I have popped in and out of using couchsurfing for a number of years now.
I enjoy working on creative projects and have made short stories, YouTube videos and computer games.
I'm a Christian, and would be happy to talk about faith if you were interested!
During lockdown I became somewhat of a language enthusiast, and I've been teaching myself German for about two years. I find it very fun finding words like Hochhaus (a sky-scraper is a high house, of course!) and Schwerkraft (gravity is... hard power?). German has taken me on a few adventures so far, and I look forward to going on more and continuing to find new ways to experience the language, and the different perspectives on life that different languages open up.
Recently I got engaged - my fiancée Polly is with me in my profile picture. We both live in Edinburgh, and enjoy escape rooms, video games and watching Bake Off together.
I also like funny jokes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've mostly been on couchsurfing to host, however I'm reviving my profile currently because Polly and I are planning to visit Germany soon (in November 2022) and we would love to meet some local people, and get to know some of the culture that way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite movies:
Moonrise Kingdom, for it's style.
Hot Rod, because it never stops being funny.

Books:
The Wayside School series by Louis Sachar are easily my favourites. I know they're kids books but they never stop being funny to me.

Music:
Yo, with music streaming I change what I'm listening to so often I don't even know anymore. Currently listening to some Jack White, and random German music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There was this one time I was part of a world record attempt for the fastest musical ever produced. I played Benny Southwest in a production of Guys and Dolls that was on stage 22 and a half hours after the musical was selected.
We had the world record for around two weeks before someone else stole it off us.

Countries I’ve Visited

Egypt, France, Italy, Japan, Norway
