CURRENT MISSION

Learn spanish with a south american accent

ABOUT ME

I´ve lived in different countries and always had big international groups of friends. Now its time to do the same in Madrid!
I haven't been in Spain too long but I'm enjoying life here a lot and would like to discover lots more with fellow couch surfers.
Although I left Scotland more than 10 years ago, its only now that I really have the time to travel - and I intend to take advantage of it :)

PHILOSOPHY

live each day...., I´ve been looking at other peoples profiles :)

You know what, just don´t be afraid of life and do whatever you want to do as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

well I guess by being a fantastic host in Spain and then returning the favour all round the world

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven´t surfed yet. I have friends that have, love it and I cant help noticing that they are traveling everywhere!

Interests

I love being outdoors, especially walking in the mountains, running and cycling. You know all that healthy stuff...
...on the other hand I also really (really) like going out in the evenings to bars and clubs, watching movies and eating really unhealthy stuff (hey I´m Scottish).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I crashed a spacecraft into the moon....
