Hi there,
I'm a friendly, out-going, clean 22-year-old male. I've lived most of my life in North-East Scotland but moved to a small village in Uganda when I was 17 for 12 months. Since then I've studied, lived and worked in Edinburgh. I'm into arts; be it theatre, music, photographic, graphic, illustrative etc. I also love travelling.

I currently live in Toronto, Canada where I'm continuing my studies in Fine Art at Ontario College of Art and Design. I am making a short trip to NYC to do a bit of research, spent some time in art galleries and see a bit of New York in the warm weather.

I'm queer and very open-minded and non-judgemental. I appreciate the company of other queer folk and a lot of my friends are not (but just have great politics!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel but unfortunately being a student I don't have the budget for accommodation. Part of why I travel is to meet new people - I've spent time hitchhiking and I've always found myself able to hold a conversation with a stranger.

Interests

I love going to the cinema, dining out, going for coffee, visiting art galleries, taking photographs, making short films, meeting new friends, exploring city nightlife, going to concerts, going for drinks at the pub.
