I recently graduated from university back home in Scotland with a degree in Politics and International Relations. Going right into more education didn't sound fun so I've been travelling around the world on my first solo trip since then.

So far I've travelles through Canada, the whole West Coast of the USA, the islands of Hawaii, and now New Zealand. Still plenty more thigs to see and do before going home!

I love seeing new places, trying new things, and meeting new people. Getting to understand other perspectives is always interesting to me. Having friends from around the world is something I'll never regret and hopefully I'll make even more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been using couchsurfing for several months now and it has been a great way to travel. Not only have I managed to save some money, and avoid sleeping outside, but also met some amazing people from around the world. These encounters made my whole experience all the richer and I hope more will come in the future.

Interests

I enjoy keeping active and having friends to join me is always a pleasure. I find that you really get to know people when you're stuck in a boat with them or tied together on a rock wall!

Chatting about current affairs is something I enjoy probably a little bit too much. It's good to be able to bounce ideas off people and get broader oppinions.

I really enjoy socialising but I don't drink alcohol at all, which can make things difficult. I'll still join in at a pub or club but such things are obviously not my preference.
