Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing attracts so many good people who want to meet each other, and I love to be a part of that, I move around a lot so it's always good to know that new friends aren't far away!
Interests
I'm into outdoor stuff, mainly hiking, kiteboarding and camping , but I'm always up for trying new things too! Recently I've had a go at rock climbing, surfing, scuba diving, and canyoning, by the way canyoning is awwesome! But I'm just as happy watching a good movie or reading a good book. I also like to play the guitar and sing, and enjoy live music. And of course being a weather nerd is not just a job, its a hobby as well!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once spent a summer homeless (though not in a broke way) camping in Hawaii, visiting different islands and mainly doing cool hikes and finding new campsites. I've seen more waterfalls and rainbows than most, but I never get sick of them! I've solo travelled in Thailand, Spain and Costa Rica as well.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm trying to learn Spanish right now and would be more than happy to meet Spanish people in the area for a bit of 'intercambio de idiomas'! But please bear in mind that I still suck.
