CURRENT MISSION

to try as many different beers and see as many sunsets as I can

ABOUT ME

ALL? I don't know if this is the place to include all...

The world is amazing and beautiful and I want to get out there and see as much of it as I can. I'm a Brit, but also a long time Prague resident, soon to be starting a year's study of the Czech language. I've just been on an awesome round the world trip, so am looking forward to sharing lots of travelling stories with.... maybe... YOU?

PHILOSOPHY

live for the moment (I do my best to) and don't regret any actions - after all, aren't we far more likely to regret the things we didn't do, rather than the ones we did?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

meeting, greeting, chatting, sharing, eating, exploring, hosting, guesting, having a cold beer ready...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've kipped on plenty of friends' couches in my time, and plenty have kipped on mine ... but I'm looking to widen that experience...obviously. And greatly looking forward to it. I've hosted a bunch of folk from all over in Prague, and have surfed myself, and am looking to do a lot more of it as I head to South America for 3 months.

Interests

Exploring (everything!), Nature, people, massage, mountains, trees, photography, languages, live music (making it, and listening to others make it), food (especially trying new food), books, art, history, long hikes, country pubs, cycling, people, playing guitar, people-watching, mullet-spotting, singing, roasting sausages over an open fire, cloudwatching, stargazing, skinnydipping, strolling on the beach, feeling the sun (as long as it's not too hot: I am from Scotland, after all!) on my face, enjoying the view from just about anywhere....
