Hey I am Ru 24 year old British guy travelling the world 6 months at a time. I love the ountains and the Sea and looking at everything in between. I work seasons in order to live in the countries I visit to break passed the tourist experience I love good food and meeting people and making friends along the way particularly as im usually travelling alone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing for the same reason i hitch hike, because I'd rather spend my money on food and beer and the occasional outlandish activity or cultural experience and having a good time than expensive accomodation and travel. that and because I'm normally travelling alone and the best way to find the cool stuff is by having a local friend
