I've been using CS since 2016 and have had some of the most incredible experiences of my life.

To me travel is all about meeting and connecting with people. All I want in my life is to be open-minded, live in the moment and have adventures. Can you help with that???

I also find it difficult to write about myself and what I'm like- so you'll just have to meet me to find out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

More than anything i love to learn, and the best way to do that is to listen and be with others.

I don't travel to tick a bunch of things off a list, but to understand a place and it's culture through its people; and I can't see a better way to do that than via couchsurfing with locals.

Take me to the strange places only locals know about. Especially cool graveyards...

Music, Movies, and Books

What I'm listening to changes with my mood - but I always come back to a few classics like Kate Bush, Talking Heads and Nick Cave.

Any time I'm asked to list books that I've read I instantly forget everything that I've ever read, but here are some books that have changed my way of thinking:
Lanark by Alasdair Gray (also my favourite artist).
The Art of Frugal Hedonism by Annie Raser-Rowland

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Abseiling without gear down a cliff on the west coast of America.

Climbing Arthur's seat in Edinburgh at 10pm and being surprised by the northern lights!!

Hitchhiking my way to the airport in a truck carrying a load of poop.

Climbing 'The Cobbler' and threading the needle during a storm in Scotland!

Hitchhiking across Europe on my own.

Laying naked in a river in rural Japan in the pouring rain.
