CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world, meet new people, eat and drink well, and discover new ways of life on this tiny planet.

ABOUT ME

My name is Iain. I’m a Scottish musician/traveller/adventurer/dreamer. I used to live in Glasgow, but the rain depressed me. So I left in search of something a little less… grey.

PHILOSOPHY

A ship in port is safe; but that's not what ships were built for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed just once so far, and my host was great. I've also met up with a few people from this site, and all of my experiences so far have been unforgettable. I don't have my own place at the moment because I move around so much, but I'm looking forward to hosting like-minded travellers when I do!

Interests

I love music of all types. It's my real passion. Of course I also love travelling the world (doesn't everyone on here?), as well as a whole load of other stuff that I could talk about for much longer than this space will let me...

• yoga
• running
• meditation
• drinking
• technology
• traveling
• music
• sports
• languages
• film
• vegan food
• bass guitar

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favourite movies include: The Shawshank Redemption, Into the Wild, The Chumscrubber, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and The Motorcycle Diaries.

I love all kinds of music and what I'm listening to usually depends on my mood. I really love heavy music, but then I also really love lots of chilled out instrumental electronica kind of stuff, blues, jazz, and some of my favourite artists are mostly acoustic as well. I like a little bit of everything!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a good knowledge of Scottish whisky! That counts, right? I've also been a musician and sound engineer for over 10 years, and I would be happy to teach the basics to anyone who wanted to learn.

I'm always wanting to learn new things - whether it be learning how to cook new dishes, or get travel advice, or learn new languages - it's all important to me!
