Recently widowed gay Yorkshireman living in rural Galloway with my rescue dog and 2 chickens.

I can be a bit socially awkward at times, but am genuinely friendly and keen to get to know new people.

I enjoy the great outdoors, and am an enthusiastic gardener and walker/hiker, with a keen interest in all things historical. I like to think I'm a good cook and enjoy trying new foods and cuisines. I don't eat meat on a regular basis, but am not actually a vegetarian, so will try most things!

I am a Christian and regular churchgoer - but not a Bible-basher, so don't worry I won't be preaching at you over breakfast! In fact I am very open to other spiritual insights and keen to learn and develop my own pathway.

I enjoy a clothes-free lifestyle whenever I can, and would be delighted to meet with other naturists/nudists, but am prepared to keep my kit on if you are uncomfortable with nudity!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, potentially get to see new places and share my local area with others.
Lean more about other cultures and share stories and experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Eclectic tastes.
Music from classical to folk, not a big movie buff, but read a lot - currently re-reading Ann Bronte's Tenant of Wildfell Hall

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I completed the national Three Peaks Challenge with a group of friends to raise money for an orphanage in Ukraine.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love the local area I live in which is quiet, peaceful, with wonderful coastal and counrtyside scenery, plenty of historic interest and great places to walk, and would love to share my knowledge and recommendations with guests.
I enjoy cooking for friends and visitors, and would love to have you cook for me, especially if you have a different national cuisine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Thoughtfulness, quirky humour, happy to cook for you.
