Couchsurfing is not free accommodation.
Hosts accommodate Surfers with accommodation and a good experience. Surfers accommodate hosts with things like communication, manners and punctuality, and a good experience. Both must sacrifice.

Also sorry for not having the time to respond to all the amazing and well written requests 😔 you people out there are amazing.

Hello I’m Rory and I am from Scotland. I live in Edinburgh and I work here as a systems engineer in Aerospace related company. I also have a second job where I volunteer, and I am also a musician. I also have many other small ideas happening 😅

My student Couchsurfing days are mostly over, but I’m returning the favour and host backpackers to help people out and hopefully meet some cool people!

Requests - I’m pretty busy and travel a lot myself, so it’s rare that I can accept a request for far in the future. Last minute requests are better for me, but feel free to request anyway for visibility 👍

I love hiking and my greatest acheivement so far is climbing 140 Scottish mountains. I have also trekked in the Swiss Alps, and my greatest memories are trekking through the Karakoram, Pakistan.

I love running, walking, hiking, Rock climbing and many other sports. I have travelled to Thailand, South Africa, USA east coast and Colombia as well as most of the countries in Europe. I like photography and videography and playing music. I play the bagpipes, the Scottish National instrument. Any questions just ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Host people at my home. And when I’m travelling.. meet new people and travel to wild interesting places

Music, Movies, and Books

Playing guitar and playing the bagpipes! Reading books on Scottish history.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning a little Spanish. I have travelled Scotland for most of my life and I know it very well so I would like to share it with other people. I love photography and videography.
