Recently emigrated to Oz from Scotland where I worked 9 years as a firefighter, and also as a supply teacher on my days off :). I've spent the last 12 years doing as much travelling as I can, when I can, and I'm not sure I will ever be able to stop.
I'm an honest, fun loving and very positive guy who is always up for a new adventure and challenge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new and interesting people who share a passion for travelling and culture.

Interests

Travelling, history, politics, scuba diving, rock climbing, abseiling, hiking, keeping fit and sitting on the dock of the bay.
I love food, especially trying new things. I am a lover of fine rum, good wine and craft beers.
