About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take the path less travelled, meet local people, share experiences

ABOUT ME

update!

Live in East Fremantle busy doing a PhD on marine soundscapes.

Life is good but a fine balance of work and play (not quite in the middle yet)

Hey I am pretty easy going person enjoying what life has to offer. I spent most of my childhood in Africa (Zambia and Zimbabawe) and returned to Scotland and finished a degree in Ecology and conservation in 2009. I love taking photos, cooking and conversations over a good tea or beer. I love to make people laugh (some prove more difficult than others) and making music. I play guitar and write songs. I scuba dive and trying to get more into free diving

Hello ocean!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the ride, who knows when it is going to end

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been to a few CS parties and meet ups in the UK and met some interesting folk in cities along the travelling path

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have spent most of my time woofing where I have met some really outstanding souls. People that live their life how they want and just make things happen. Building houses, water mains.

About to move to Perth, WA and excited to meet the CS crowd here. First time in years I will be in once place for a while. yeh!
