I'm a musician, I like taking my time with most things and love music especially live or through really good speakers. I quite often sit and listen to old people talking for hours because they have so much to learn from, I probably find them easier to get on with too though ha! I've been to lots of places in many guises, very proud of my beautiful small island home, Lismore in Scotland. Very laid back. Love learning languages, I love learning anything new actually so tell me everything, I like listening, also food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had some great experiences meeting people through couchsurfing and prefer it far more than the kind of air conditioned bus/train staying at hotels kind of travelling, why go somewhere just to get a brief glimpse of the culture? Why not immerse yourself and likely meet some really nice, interesting people.

Interests

Love music and dancing for fun, very interested in philosophy, politics and anthropology. Have done some sailing. Like learning about ways to live that have less impact on our environment and neighbours.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first time on a sailing boat we travelled from Langkawi, Malaysia to Fethiye, Turkey via the Suez canal. Saw a few things enroute!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you like, ask me to teach you some Gaelic, my native language, or any other languages I've been learning. Let's swap some music too! I've done a good bit of travelling also willing to share advice and contacts with you, my friends always tell me to teach foreigners Scottish traditional dancing so if you fancy that.
