Hey, I'm Ritchie, 28 year old bloke from the UK.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up purely because I was struggling to find accommodation in Saskatoon, Canada. Who knows - if I don't find any shortly, I maybe surfing someone's couch!

Interests

I love travelling, and hostels or hotels are usually my thing, depending if I'm travelling solo or going on holiday with my other half. That said, I'm intrigued by the couch surfing idea and I'm thinking I should give it a go.

Since a young age I've had a fascination with Canada, so I'm here for the third time, and have been in Canada since June 2014. Currently making my way west.

Other interests include music - I play saxophone, bass guitar in a band called Mercians, and I have a knock on the drums now and then too. I like photography too. Oh and drinking many cups of tea.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty open minded when it comes to music, but particularly alternative rock, experimental rock and I'm really getting in to jazz, too.

I'm a bit of a history and geography geek so my taste in books tend to veer towards factual.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a pretty modest guy so I find these things difficult to answer. I guess travelling across Canada in 2014 and into 2015 is amazing! Such a beautiful country, full of really nice people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I try my best to live by the motto that it's nice to be nice. Treat others and their space as I'd treat my own. I'm a tidy, clean and very respectful person. I think I'm easy to get along with, too.
