About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hold life in two hands.

ABOUT ME

I'm a simple guy, about to embark on my 6 month living abroad in Barcelona. What for? For erasmus.

I like to socialise, and get to know what different cultures there are out there. I am from Glasgow, in Scotland, it's pretty good. We have culture, we have music, and we have the beautiful landscapes.

I have a few ideas about travelling.

I really want to go to Vietnam, buy a vespa, and tour the wondering humid country.

I want to buy a bus, take all my friends, and do a road trip across America.

I want to go to Iceland, and take a dip in the hot springs at midnight when it's still bright out.

I want to go to Japan and watch one of those locative music concerts where they have an animation playing instead of a live band.

PHILOSOPHY

I think experience is to be shared.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing of course.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed once! (and hope for many more to come)

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy psychological thrillers. Just recently I watched Trance. It's a complete must see. Loads of plot turning twists. Keeps you on your feet.

I'm quite weird when it comes to music, I like different things at different times, but at the moment I'd say I'm a house fan, not rave, but house. To add some artists/ djs = cyril hahn, finnebassen, four tet, xxyyxx,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been to a pop up cinema! It was the best chill thing I've ever been to on a Sunday evening. Glasgow can be cute sometimes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know if I'm capable of teaching anything. I'm up for a great laugh though. I can perhaps teach you how to design a concrete beam.
