Despite being Scottish I grew up in New Delhi. I'm now getting into journalism and filmmaking

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Same as everyone else really- to meet locals and get to know a place better. The experience of Delhi people seem to get in hotels is so much worse and centred around very specific and uninteresting backpacker-orientated areas of the city. Thus through couch surfing I hope to avoid such problems on my own travels and, when I leave university and have a house of my own, help others with their own travels
