Hi Everyone,

I'm an 20 year old studying a bachelors in Biology at Edinburgh. In 2016 I had an 8 month adventure through South Africa and then South East Asia. During this trip I stayed in many cheap hostels, local houses and the occasional cow shed which has inspired me to find some of your wonderful places to stay!

During these 8 months I met so many aweome and generous people and I would like to both meet more people via this site and extend the favour by offering my own place.

I'm a major fan of tennis and football, which I both coach and play weekly. A new passion for hiking has also sprung up in the last few months so it will be great to experience some walking with new people.

Thanks folks,
Ed

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into a whole range of music, and love to be introduced to new and interesting bands.
Movies aren't so much my thing but I have a soft spot for LoTR and the Batman movies.
I'm a massive fan of reading which has spanned many genres from War and Peace to fantasy fiction. These have left some lasting opinions which I love to have a good chat about.
Lately I've got into podcasts which are a great way to eat up some time while on the move. My personal favourites are the History of Rome podcast and Flintoff, Savage and the Ping Pong Guy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Laos Ho Chi Minh Trail, all mud and gravel roads, on 100cc semi automatic mopeds.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a few sports such as tennis and surf skating (sounds weird but is addictive). I've recently got into cooling so I can share both food and recipes. I love to have conversations surrounding both science and philosophy which should hopefully both add to mine and your lives in positive ways.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share an enthusiasm for all activities and just life in general.
I also will happily cook for hosts.
