Hi, I'm Dilan. I'm an international soul - I was born in Dubai, grew up in Australia, travelled lots throughout adolescence, and now live in the north of England.

I do my best to live life to the fullest while being in line with my integrity. I dabble in the guitar, I love a boogie, I get outdoors lots (I'm especially fond of beaches), and equally enjoy cosying up in a cafe with a hot chocolate and a good book. As for how I contribute to the world, I'm a full time organiser building a mass movement for Animal Freedom in the UK. I'm also a dedicated Vipassana meditator, in case that means anything to you.

Personality-wise, I've been told I have a "calm energy".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because, let's be real, social movement organising doesn't afford great salaries! I hope the communal values of couchsurfing can help me to travel a bit more while meeting cool people.
