CURRENT MISSION

Master the French language

ABOUT ME

Hello folks, Im Andy, originally from sunny Aberdeen in Scotland (*sarcastic face*). I studied down in England for university and now work for a French energy company here in Aberdeen.

I'd say im a pretty easy going guy, constantly having a laugh and messing around. Love to meet new and interesting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far ive only couch surfed in France, spending about a week travelling from Bordeaux to Toulouse and then 5 nights in Paris.... and LOVED it. It's such an awesome way to meet fascinating local people and have a true experience of the places you go to. I will definitely be surfing again on future trips...however, the tricky part is choosing where to go next - too many cool places and not enough time!

In Aberdeen, ive met up with other hosts and surfers for nights out, and hosted a few travellers passing through

Interests

Travelling is definitely the most worthwhile thing i spend any time/money on. Apart from that, i pretty much lay low throughout the week (due to work) and then party hard at the weekend. Always need to stay active though - football, rugby and gym mainly.

Music, Movies, and Books

- FUNNY movies for sure - Old School, Anchorman and Wedding Crashers are def up there near the top.

- Really easy when it comes to music - i listen to almost anything.

- French grammar books are about as exciting as my reading material gets currently.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most exciting thing ive done recently is BOBSLEIGH. Such an amazing experience: 80+ mph (miles per hour for you metric system users)with an olympic silver medalist behind the wheel. Best hangover cure ive discovered so far!
