About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Help folk where I can and enjoy life
ABOUT ME
Most important things in my life are my work as a part-time firefighter, mountaineering, rock and ice climbing, backcountry (wild) camping and my friends. Quiet guy but with a good sense of humour, originally from Scotland. The simple things in life are the most valuable for me - good company, the open air and learning from folk. In Switzerland with work at the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Happy to give folk a place to stay and an introduction to climbing, mountaineering and the region.
When I'm staying with a host I like to do something to help them and thank them for their kindness.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Only stayed with someone through couchsurfing once - a really great experience and learned a lot from him. Look forward to welcoming anyone who's in the area.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climbing some of the great classic ice routes on the North face of Ben Nevis. Doing farm work up in Vesterålen beside Lofoten Arctic Norway was also wonderful.
