Hi there, I am from Scotland, lived in Toronto for a while and after a road trip across country via the States, now live in Banff, Alberta. I came to Canada after 4 years living in Spain and a short time in England. I love meeting new people on my travels and swapping stories. I am always interested in the area I'm visiting, what makes people love it and finding out the best things to do while I'm there. I am always happy to talk about home too for anyone curious about Scotland. I couchsurfed on my cross country road trip and had such an awesome time meeting truly unique and engaging people that I'm excited for an opportunity to do it again!

I am a happy person who loves to experience life. I hope I sound like someone you'd like to have stay and look forward to meeting some of you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My time living in Banff, Alberta has come to an end and I want to explore San Francisco before I fly back home. I've heard only good things about San Francisco and want to try my hardest to see all the interesting things I can while I'm there.

Couchsurfing has been great in getting to know people from an area and seeing places from a much more unique point of view. I did a roadtrip round the UK with a group of friends in which we stayed with friends and their families and I got to learn so much more about my own country. I also have friends who hosted couchsurfers back home and always had great things to say about the experience too. I had a great experience last time and I am keen to continue it in San Francisco!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, well it depends on what I'm doing. I love club music to dance to, especially with a Spanish style; heavy metal speaks to me when I've got places to go and things to do; acoustic when I'm chilling; each singer songwriter is so unique; something for every occasion, music is medicine!

Movies: Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Shawshank Redemption, The Philadelphia Story, The Fifth Element, Supertroopers, The Princess Bride, The Secret Garden.

Books: Anne McCaffrey's The Crystal Singers and her whole Pern series, anything sci fi/fantasy; relatable recent history books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed to the top of an active volcano and walked between the fires at the top :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people a little Scottish which is wildly different from English and sounds quite funny if you've not heard it before.

I love to learn about anything and everything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share information about my travels and interests, a good chat and a respectful stay.
