Hello!

I am currently on long bicycle trip, I've started my trip in the UK in July 2022 and have been slowly travelling east ever since. I'm towards the end of the trip now with the finishing destination in the Philippines where I will volunteer for two months with an organisation designing bamboo social housing,

I've just signed up to couch surfing so apologies that I don't have many reviews on here (It says 2019 but this was only for a trip that never happened). You can see more about me on my Instagram @oliverspalton

Other Passions include: Climbing, photography, hiking, wild swimming, surfing (and most things outdoors) and , Vipassana meditation, yoga, music and cooking healthy food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet new people in Makati to hang out with and to find somewhere to stay for a few days to get settled and join a community.
