CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy nature, and not destroy too much of it along the way!

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty laid-back person and easy to get along with. Like everyone I've met through couch surfing, I'm open-minded and always try to be respectful and sensitive to others. I'm more of a book reader than a party animal.

PHILOSOPHY

The most important thing in life is getting on with other people. Sharing experiences and funny stories. Doing wacky things - I'm always up for a bit of nonsense.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One of the best things I did was an official bird survey with a woman who works on a nature reserve, who I was staying with. That was great. Apart from the fact that we had to get up at 3am and climb up a 7000 foot mountain in the dark, and half freeze to death, it was great!

The people I've met through this have been very sweet, and amazingly trusting. It's a great community.

Interests

I record music and make music videos, and write short stories. I do a bit of hillwalking and bird watching (and butterflies too). I'm a philosopher at heart, really. I'm interested in science as well, especially astronomy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Tortoise, Pavement, Crescent, Serena-Maneesh, My Bloody Valentine, Amon Tobin and others. I listen to a lot of minimal electronic music and old jazz instrumentals at the moment.

I like the writing of William Burroughs and Charles Bukowski, and comedies like Monty Python, Blackadder and The Naked Gun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did learn to speak a bit of Mongolian - forgotten it all now, sadly....

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you plenty of tricks on the guitar, if you've got one, or teach you some strange Glasgow slang.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Identifying local birds and butterflies, or ideas about Buddhism and self-improvement!
