I'm Matt from the UK. I have a passion for climbing mountains, and I've now quit my job as an accountant to attempt to be the 3rd and fastest person to climb the highest mountain in 100 countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I travel I like to meet locals and explore the local culture, especially in the more remote regions of the world, rather than stay in luxury resorts.

Interests

• hiking
• mountaineering
• mountains
• food

All genres of music. I don't watch many movies. I like real life expedition and adventure books, such as Ed Stafford's 'Walking the Amazon'
