ABOUT ME

I've been told I'm an open minded, caring, funny and gentle giant (lol). I'm quite spiritual in the way that I follow signs from the Universe and my intuition, this normally leads me to good things and also sometimes not so good, but the not so good always turns out to be a very important lesson in disguise! Mwa ha haaaa....

Ahem, I love travelling and connecting with people, animals and plants all over the world. I love art, so much so that I play at being a comic artist/animator in my spare time. I would love to play at it as a full-time job one day.
I'm a man of many talents I guess, from tattooing to gold leaf gilding, gardening to playing the guitar, photography to spiritual assistance, and cooking to driving anything that has two or more wheels! I hope to live in a four wheeled thing one day :)

I'm travelling with my soul mate, best friend and recently fiancée! And we're basically the same person so it's kind of like buy one get one free! We love to share our love and happiness with anyone willing to accept it :)

We really are gentle souls just searching for that place to call home one day, although we always have that in each other so there's not pressure on that one.

We love sharing our travelling tales and hearing yours, and we LOVE cooking for people. Especially as I'm a gluten-free Vegan! (So it's often easier if I just cook for you) I won't stop you if you feel up to the challenge though!

Love and peace,

Nate (& Mark)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couch surfing because: -

I love meeting nice new people that can share their local experiences with me.
I think it's the best and nicest way to get to know a place and its people.
I want to make new friends.
I want to share my thoughts and stories with anyone willing to listen.
It beats staying in a hostel or somewhere similar.
It enables the Universe to match me up with people of a similar vibration.
I love learning new things and hearing about people’s lives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped out of an aeroplane and parachuted to the ground. I've never experienced anything like it since!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning Spanish... I can teach you English. Or drawing and painting and stuff.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm fairly well-travelled and can offer lots of tips and advice about places to go, as well as hook people up with others overseas.

I know how to cook and I'm more than happy to arrive with ingredients to rustle up a tasty meal for my hosts. Favourite cuisine includes Spanish and Thai as well as Italian that goes beyond decorating a pizza base.

I'm an animator, comic artist and digital illustrator and can teach these creative skills too. Lots of people have asked me to design tattoos for them, I used to be an apprentice at a tattoo shop in the UK. I'm pretty good at fixing things and DIY so if you anything that needs a look just let me know. I'm also very good at sorting out computers :)

I'm a great listener and am always happy to lend my ear to anyone that need it. I've been told I can be pretty wise so maybe I can help you with some random wisdom hahaha.
