ABOUT ME

I moved to London about 5 months ago, as I was feeling restless. Sometimes I think I should figure out what to do with my life, and sometimes I pretend I'm a musician, but mostly time passes me by and I still haven't read the books I want to read. I like record shops, love drinking coffee, and I'm always trying to give up smoking. I hoard meaningless scraps of paper and old shoes. When I'm travelling around town I like to go by bicycle; it's so much faster than walking and it's fun too!

PHILOSOPHY

Try to be good

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

running all over glasgow looking for french cheese to make tartiflette, watching my flatmate convince someone he has just met to cut his hair, consuming the great american breakfast, introducing people to scottish whiskey, and scones, and haggis.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My old flatmates and I hosted quite a few people, and it was always interesting to meet people from different places - some of my best memories of Glasgow are times we spent with couchsurfers. I've surfed some wonderful peoples couches in Germany, Spian, Belgium and France and I am immensely grateful to everyone who has helped me out when I'm far from home.
