ABOUT ME
I live in Stanley in the Falkland Islands with my partner John. The Falklands are incredibly beautiful. Come visit!
I'm an outdoors enthusiast. I love hiking, climbing, camping, exploring, kayaking, biking, wildlife spotting. My motto is to enjoy the journey as much as the destination. I tend to plan holidays around where I can hike. There is nothing better than sitting at the top of a mountain after hiking for days to get there. Little wonder my favourite travel destinations have been the Himalayas, the Andes, and the Canadian Rockies.

Teach, Learn, Share
Sharing a hot meal, a bottle of wine and a few good stories is the essence of what I think Couchsurfing is about.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm that surfer who washes the dishes after dinner and restocks the beer in your fridge.
