Don't let the haircut fool you if I were anymore laid back I'd be permanently horizontal. I have a unique sense of humour I like to share and don't like anyone who takes them self too seriously. Surfing is my main passion, closely followed by making surfboards ( or at least trying). Check out @Murphboards on Instagram. I love to ski, snowboard and climb whenever I can. I like reading mostly non fiction bit of a history geek and have a good memory for random useless facts. I will talk about dogs a lot if I get the chance, my ridgeback is amazing.

Don't be a dick and everything will be ok

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've seen a fair amount of the world, usually with work, but when I was told about couchsurfing it seems like the best way to travel. I want to meet new people, see the real places and have a laugh.
