ABOUT ME

Hey

I'm living in Aberdeen working as a design engineer which has its perks, been doing a lot of travelling :) But otherwise like getting out for adventures around Aberdeen and in Aberdeenshire.

I spent 3 months in Nepal in 2005, 9 months in Oz and NZ in 2006 then a few weeks in Morroco, Egypt and Turkey whilst at uni. Spent 5 months in Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador in 2012, USA for 2 months with work, Norway and was climbing in Kyrgyzstan Tian Shan mountains for 4 weeks in 2017.

I love independent traveling away from the normal tourist hot spots... the more off beat my travels take me the more of an adventure I have and the better the memories!

My best trip would involve chilling, some partying, beaches, mountains and sunsets with some climbing, cycling and sightseeing all mixed in!

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By being a good host when I can and being a good guest whenever I'm surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far it's been really good, hosted a few surfers so far, met one at the station as it was late, had a few beers and went on a few walks to show them Aberdeen and gave out much advice. I have met hosts abroad as well, has been really fun and relaxed :)
