Hello there! My name is Andrew.

I'm pretty easy going. I'm Scottish but I've lived in Australia since I was a boy, so it's safe to say that I don't mind a drink and a dance. I'm heading back to Europe for the first time in 5 years and just hoping to see some cool spots and meet some nice people on the way. I‘m a big animal and music lover.

Currently spending some time in the US. I came over for a friends’ wedding and decided to take a few months to travel across and see as much as I can.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I've been informed that it's the best way to experience a new place. I've done the hostel route many times before and would like to try something else. I'd like to meet cool people and hang out so it seems like the best option.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I've abseiled the Gordon Dam in Tasmania, which is the world's highest commercial abseil (140 metres). I was shitting it, I won't lie. Not really a big fan of heights to start with, and not only was I horrendously hungover from the night before but the weather was terrible. It was cold, grey, rainy and windy and I had to straddle the railing at the top like a shit James Bond in "Goldeneye" and slowly winch myself down to my dismay. Glad I did it, but I honestly thought I had shit myself on the way down.

Just realized what this is on. I can promise that I DIDN'T shit myself. I haven't done that since I was a child. I'm very clean. Honestly.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I'm lucky enough to have two homes on either side of the world - Scotland & Australia - so I'd like to think I can inform anyone interested with any questions that they may have about either. I can also teach some slang from both places - You'll be speaking "Scozzy" in no time at all.

I've played guitar since I was a teenage, and by no means am I totally proficient, I can however teach anyone basics chords, songs and help with any questions that they may have about learning guitar.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

A well developed sense of intrigue and humour. General trivia as well, most of it interesting but useless.
