I'm an explorer, nature enthusiast, (birder), hiker, traveler and want to host similar minded people. I'm currently in Dorset - 25 mins drive from Poole/ Bournemouth The last few years (since 2017), I've spent a lot of time in Spain, but also in 27 other European countries in a camper van ahead of the disaster known as Brexshit and the pandemic. Between 2016 and 2019 I managed to fit in visits to India, the Middle East, Morocco, Southern Africa, plus six months in North and Central America. The next trips are coming soon. Hoping to be able to visit some of the following:- Scandinavia, Turkey, Indonesia, Thailand, Phillipines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan, the US, Canada, Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador, Colombia, Georgia, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Poland.

I'm a traveller from the UK currently living in Bristol. Super interested in music, especially electronic music, rap, rock and psychedelia. Enjoy socialising and meeting new people! Come visit me in wonderful Bristol and I'll show you the sights!

*I can host and I'm currently active! (why have they removed this)* Hey 👋 I'm Ed from England 🇬🇧🇬🇧 I love to travel because I don't think there's a better way to meet people. In the last couple years I've travelled to Thailand, Turkey, Japan/Korea, India, South America, and interrailed around Europe. Back home I work in a drug research facility as an Analytical Scientist and also study Biochemistry at the University of Bath. I love running (specialising in 5 km distance) and hiking. Feel free to message me if you want to hang out or need some info about Bath

My little flat really is, well, little. It is a bedsit, which in UK means it's all one room. What this means to you is that my bed and the couch are in the same room. *** Please read the bit "About My Home" as I get worried guests will feel uncomfortable or awkward. It's a small flat. You have privacy, but it's cosy here... *** ABOUT ME Every day - a new adventure... Heart-wrenchingly open. I find myself fascinated much of the time. Touched by almost everything. Prone to long silence and deep stillness. I hear the voice of God. In my heart; in the desert; and sometimes in the air around me. I enjoy finding the depth of a person beneath the presentation. PHILOSOPHY: If you look at a mountain long enough, hard enough, deep enough - it becomes Holy. I know because it did. Same for a blackberry bush. I make the Best Hot Chocolate in the world (over 128,000 views on YouTube)

NB: Currently unlikely to accept guests requests as I have an extensive painting and decorating works going on at my home. I’m however happy to hang out or show you in and around bristol if that works well with your schedule. Im a very likable guy, jovial, genial and get on well easily with people I meet. I own and run an online fine art gallery with a corporate and public art consultancy tenet which i run as part time business now. I work as Director of Strategy and Corporate Services and have resort to contracting in the last few years. After three years working industry I’m back at working as a management consultant (self employed) as this gives me the freedom to follow my passions one of which is travelling and visiting new places as well as exploring different cultures. I love meeting new people, sharing experiences and exploring places. I have a great passion for yoga, spirituality, cooking and enjoy a good wine albeit not much of a drinker. My friends will describe me as intellectually agile and emotionally resilient. I’m a great advocate for mental and emotional well-being, law of attraction and self love. I’m rich in love, slow to anger, beaming with patience and have a kind heart. I’m a workaholic but I do know how to let me head down. Most people have lost the essence or importance of CS and sadly see it as a free hotel service. That isn’t why I’m part of this community. I understand that sometimes people find themselves in a predicament and will need a safe place to stay for a night or two and as such i’m happy to help as I’ve always done; but before you request to stay with me please take note of the essence and importance of the CS community and read my profile well before requesting me to host you. Remember I’m not a free Airbnb!
