I'm Aussie, and been here enjoying the Glasgow weather for about 9 years. We're vego, and love bikes ;)

Prior to arriving in Glasvegas, Gaby and I had been off slowly touring around the world on our bicycles. We managed about 1/3 of a lap of the world, through Australia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Mexico, the US and Canada.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short - play hard and do good.

Industrial farming and the diesel consumed in production is environmentally unjustifiable - go vego !

Check all unsubstantiated claims for veracity first - then _still_ don't share that viral hoax myface sh!t...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In Canada we surfed for a few weeks, and/but here in Glasgow we're often up for hosting and socialising...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While cycling in Canada a while back we surfed several times and had a blast. Now that we're settled in Glasgow we occasionally host wandering surfers.

Interests

Roughly and miscellaneously I'm interested in Sculpting,Cycle-touring, uni/cycle politics, tinkering, outdoorsy stuff, languages, itinerant world travel, Scouting and the SCA....

And I loove to travel. I guess I've visited thirty-something countries so far, and really find the various cultures of our little flying-through-space monkey ball very intriguing...
