About Me

I grew up in Scotland, but I've since lived across Europe and I've travelled worldwide. Norway has been my base for about 10 years, although I'm quite new to Oslo, and for the last few years I've been part-time nomadic.

My values centre around personal freedom, and I try to explore and grow with that in all areas of my life. I'm driven by experiences more than by possessions. I love deep and meaningful connections.

I'm introverted but friendly. I also have a hearing loss, which means it's easier for me to socialise in quieter settings and small groups. I'm generally thoughtful, respectful, tidy and considerate.

My day job is software development (web apps). Outside of work I care about travel, food, music, and personal relationships.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is a huge passion of mine. I love to learn from other people. This seems like a great way to make new friends.
