Hey, my name is Jack. i'm 22, fresh out of uni, and I want to see the world! I think there's nothing better than music, sunshine, hills and long conversation with kindred spirits. I'm a lover of mountains: running, hiking and mountain biking are my passions. Spending time in the hills has given me a deep respect for nature and I always want to learn more about its mysteries. I've been described as gentle and sincere and I always try to look for the best in people. While I'm travelling, I want to try new things and always have my perceptions challenged, there's so much out there to learn!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To make the world feel smaller. I love that wherever the people I meet come from, deep down we're all the same and we can find something to connect on.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: I'm a big fan of dub and reggae. If you know anywhere where there is a big soundsystems and nice tunes please let me know! I also love Irish and Scottish folk music. I have been playing the fiddle for a number of years
Books: I love writers who connect with nature in a very deep and personal way. My favourite book ever is Walden by Henry David Thoreau. Other writers I enjoy are Arne Naess, Gary Snyder, Nan Shepherd and Jack Kerouac. Currently reading "The Spell of the Sensuous" by David Abram which is blowing my mind

Long chats about nature, the universe, living ethically and purposefully... And maybe a fiddle tune or two!
