I'm a friendly, outgoing sort of person with a big ginger beard. Metal, beer, art, food, cycling are in my opinion the best things around. I'm an open minded guy and I really will give anything a try!

This summer Im cycling from Amsterdam to Prague via Germany. (At least that's the plan.) So, on the 26th June I'm arriving in Amsterdam, then heading to Cologne via Rotterdam, and on to Mainz, Munich and Prague. I cycle everyday but I've never done a big trip before.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last time I travelled I spent far too much time and money on transport and hostels. This time I'm cycling, to cut out the trains and buses, and hoping to couch surf so I can meet local people of different backgrounds.

I'm bringing a tent - so at the very least having somewhere to pitch and maybe a cup of coffee would be very welcome!

Interests

My new years resolution was to draw every single day, and so far I've only missed 14 days! You can check out my art page here:

I love things like live music (of all kinds!), drinking beer at interesting bars and pubs, eating great food and just generally having good conversations.

Only started cycling recently, but it'd be great to check out some good routes between places. I'm also a history student so recommendations on museums, sites and art galleries are welcome!
