Me: Stereotypical graduate, lacking a prospective "career" with a humble fear of technology. I am passionate for life and have a thirst for different cultures, experiences and people. Just an amiable, down to earth person willing to open my life up to anything different. I strive to life my life with minimum self- indulgence.

Life goal: to make a difference, even in the most indistinctive way.

Belief: protection, preservation and perspicacity. I try to apply these ideals to myself, those around me and of course the world we live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Selfishly: To build a new network of intriguing, passionate, like-minded people who can influence the person I am.

Selflessly: To provide a safe, comfortable stopping point for people who are visiting a truly proud and beautiful city. I am thoroughly passionate and pretty knowledgeable on the West of Scotland and thrive when sharing experiences with others.
