I'm an easy going, enthusiastic and fun Scottish native. I love to meet new people and explore new locations, hence why I can be found here.

My background is in the creative industries and I spent many years working and studying as an actor, gaining a degree in drama and performance back in 2014. My passion for the arts and creativity has since turned into a love for entrepreneurship and I currently work with a start-up tour company, launched three years ago in Edinburgh. I've set up various small companies in the past and its my plan to continue launching more in the future.

If you do not take yourself too seriously, enjoy bad jokes and love to talk about pretty much anything then we will get along just fine.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

For about two years I used to organise the couchsurfing meetups in Edinburgh, which would attract large crowds of travellers from around the world. I met many incredible people from these events, many of whom I have travelled with since and remain friends with.

I suppose the reason I am on couchsurfing is because I love meeting people and hearing everyone's story, simple.

I've surfed in various places in the past and hosted occasionally in Edinburgh - never had a bad experience in doing either of those.

I am currently travelling with my girlfriend, so back on CS after a while of absence - looking forward to jumping back into one if my favourite communities.

Intereses

Sitting with some nice beers, discussing politics, philosophy and swapping life stories - sounds like a perfect evening, right?

I am one of these people that is always taking an interest in something new every week, at the moment I want to learn Spanish and try Fencing, but ill probably want to write a book or start an online course in coding by Thursday...kind of spontaneous like that.
