Born in the UK, but left when I was 2 years old to Asia, namely Nepal and India, got back to Europe when i was 18...went to University in Scotland and left straight after graduation to Latin America where I have been travelling for the past 10 years. now based in Guatemala on a beautiful lake.

I enjoy learning...about myself and people and places I visit....very curious. Happy, laid back fellow, open minded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I handcraft jewelry for a living...travelling and finding new specimens (mainly stones) from different countries to incorporate into my work. Love nature. meeting people learning about it all, and travel while I make money selling anywhere I can.
