*Disclaimer* this profile is old, but I'm in Tulum, Mexico for the next few days & down for hangouts! (Currently doing Dry January but open to partying sober!)

I'm from Scotland but currently living in the USA for grad school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the whole concept of being part of a sharing community. The experiences I've had so far have been really memorable. I've met a lot of really interesting, open, honest and generous people, and everyone I've met has taught me something valuable. Couchsurfing folk are the best :)

Interests

Hiking, cycling, swimming wild in rivers and the sea. Listening to music, going to live gigs, and playing piano and guitar. Learning about other cultures. World cinema. Cooking up yummy awesome vegan food. Philosophy, ethics, reading, environmentalism, activism and Green lefty politics. Meeting fantastic new people and going on adventures!
