Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Smile until I laugh and giggle til I wee myself!
ABOUT ME
I'm a Scotsman living in England (eek!). I travel a fair amount with my job (PhD student)mainly in Europe though 'occasionally' in more exotic places!
I've lived and worked abroad so I know how useful a local is as well as the extra fun involved in meeting randoms this way!
PHILOSOPHY
No regrets. You make your own luck and treat others how you'd expect to be treated.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
More than happy to offer a spare couch/bed in Durham and act as a guide in the surrounding area.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I met some people when I was in the Faroes Islands and they were really friendly and enthusiastic. I'm travelling a lot this summer and really hope to CS more!
Interests
I love films: recent favourites were No Country for Old men, Control, The Proposition, Little Miss sunshine... I enjoy sports, cooking-mostly eating the results though...and the odd drink and boogy now and then!
Newcastle is good for gigs and live music so I spend too much cash and time through there recently saw Kings of Leon there-Brilliant.
