Hello,

I’m Matt...I’m 37 and have a love for hitch hiking and travel adventures. I am currently bike packing from Amsterdam to Croatia over the next month, aiming to do up to 100 km a day riding so nothing too crazy. My previous rides have been 200 km per day so this tour seems pretty chill to me

I’m from the UK and work the music festivals in the summer so will be heading back there at the end of May. I have a passion for travelling and so far have been to 30 countries so always keen to share stories. I love of meeting new people and I’m pretty easy going and laid back

My passion outside cycling is music and love to while away an afternoon with a guitar. I also have a love for snowboarding and hitch hiking. I have also spent much of my spare time volunteering for Cancer Research UK

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I absolutely love meeting new people - I love to meet locals who can show us what their area really has to offer. It’s great to understand why they live where they do and discover some of the hidden gems only locals know about
