Edinburgh

NO AVAILIBILITY until 2nd November 2026. Hosted surfers from 90 countries and over 1000 surfers to date. Communicstion is key, if you wish to spend time with us simply ask in afvance of your trip when/if we are free to do so. I like to meet new people from all over the world. So far so good, I like to offer to host people from countries I haven't hosted before. I like the challenge of trying to populate my world map. 😊. I appreciate all surfers who stay with me won't always leave as our friends, but that's a 2-way street - we respond to how you behave and interact with us. Happy to accept friend requests from surfers, but only from those that i have already met/hosted. I don't expect you to read my whole profile, but I do expect those requesting to have put some effort into populating their own profile. Very happy to host surfers with not much experience as I was once in your position too. We all have to start somewhere. AUGUST IN EDINBURGH: A month long Fringe Festival (the world's biggest art festival) and is THE busiest month for the city; the population doubles during this time. Best to book well in advance to avoid disappointment! Happy to help in emergency situations. My promixity to the airport is also a bonus. I'd rather someone stay with me for a brief, comfortable stay and get up early the next morning, than endure a night in the airport. In either situation please just be up front when sending a request re this. ABOUT ME ** Disclaimer: we have eight dogs (number can vary 🤣) at the moment. They are Parson Russell Terriers (Elka and Twix) and Jack Russell Terriers (Athena, Suri, Arran, Noah and puppies Aoife and Carter). If you're not a dog lover, then I'm perhaps not the right host for you.** I'm a gay Scotsman who lives in Edinburgh with my partner Philip, from Ayrshire (west Scotland; nearest city Glasgow). For clarity: the livingroom door is often closed when we're at home. This is not to keep guests out, but to keep our multitude of dogs in. We may be watching tv when you get home from being a tourist in our lovely city, but we can easily pause what we're watching to chat about your day, if you wish to. Also appreciate you may be tired after a long day of walking and as I work from home am equally happy to chat with you in the mornings too. I like to think I'm a fairly easy-going person and always keen to meet new people. I have a lot of foreign friends and take an interest in their culture and backgrounds. Remember you set the tone for your stay with us, don't be shy and come chat to us, feel free to ask us if we'd like to join you for a drink or dinner - we're often busy, but it's the thought that counts. We try to recycle as much as we can, please respect this. if you're unsure of where something goes, just ask. PHILOSOPHY Enjoy yourself whilst you can and make the most of life. Life isn't a dress rehearsal, this is the actual act. Treat others the way you wish to be treated.

CURRENT MISSION DISCOVER THE WORLD! and the ice cream,wine blablabla!!! ABOUT ME i was a lucky guy in the world because i had a very positive experience during my crazy trip in the world , i realize that the countries who said is impossible to go and I just did it as well! And i would like to travel all the countries before i die. The craziest thing i even did is i had spend 978days to 50countries in once, and published a book about the travel. I always make crazy ideas on my life , drinking wines and meet people on the way. PHILOSOPHY if you can breath, you are lucky. If you can walk , you are bravo. Lf you can make travel by self, you are the parts of the fantastic gut in the world!! Many people the won't have this chance in their own life !! During the long trip that you will find what you want ... I think also..

Not hosting 4-15 October -------------- New couchsurfing allows me only 4 free messages so my texting capacity here is very limited If you want to stay with me, you must read home description for home rules and address me by my real name in your request (sad to see that 95% of requesters won't do it) I can consider requests not more than 1-2 weeks in advance. I'm also not hosting at the weekends (at all) I'm absolutely not interested/not looking for romantic encounters. IG irish_lobster. You can text me here if I'm not replying on CS. I'm Ukrainian, temporarily living in the UK because of the war. I enjoy adventure travelling, did continents by hitchhiking, tent and couchsurfing starting from 2019. That was the best time. I met incredibly kind people on the road that will stay in my heart forever. And then our lives changed forever. Now I'm mostly based in Edinburgh, hosting travellers when I can. I am ex-AIESEC member, interested in cross cultural dialogue and exploring extraordinary destinations.
