Pint-sized Scottish girl. Likes movies, adventure, and adventure movies. Because I'm so short, my backpack is pretty much the size of me.

I used to want to be Indiana Jones when I was younger. Sometimes when I am sweating on the back of a speeding chicken bus crushed between a cigar seller and someone's aged, stinking luggage fearing for my life, I think I travel to make eight-year-old Viki happy.

miscellaneous things I like: any kind of bird, snow in the city, cameras, social justice, the jungle, strong cowboy coffee, baseball, asian beer, Halloween, that weird vibe at airports, old maps, fairytales, goofy adventure movies, amusement parks, starry skies, chocolate and a future where we will all be friends with robots and have hoverboards.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot, and want to meet lots of new people! I hope in the future I can lend my couch to you guys too.

Interests

Is putting travel here a bit of a moot point? :'P

In any case, my passion in life is art; I love film, design and illustration. I like reading and writing and I am also super into snowboarding and hiking! If you're a cat person or a dog person don't worry... I am a bird person...

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch a loooot of movies and read a loooot of books. This is absolutely why I don't want a job.

I like most music but I'm into alternative and classic rock mostly. My favourite song ever is Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've embarked on a Japanese pilgrimage around an island trekking for a month and a half and am somehow still alive despite killer bees, rashes in weird places, sleeping on benches and a standoff with a pit-viper.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn to surf, I want to look at art, I want to draw buildings... honestly if you like to sketch too, let's walk around and urban sketch!!

I can teach you English, Japanese, Scottish slang words and how to make a killer British breakfast.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you are learning English/Japanese, I think I'm a good teacher! I understand languages very well, and hopefully I can explain some things to you.

If you want to learn to draw, maybe I can try and teach you some things too haha...
