I am currently travelling the Americas 🎊 This is a very special year, surprises everyday. I am a carpenter and furniture maker. I have visited some incredible place and met fascinating people due to my skills and interest. My passion is environmentally friendly construction- I take every opportunity to learn and grow with this.

I am from Scotland, I have lived there all my life, I love my home and I love travelling ❤️ I hope to bring a bit of Scotland to the Americas and a bit of the Americas to Scotland.

I studied Jewellery design and silversmithing at University and have a passion for art, conversation and mind expansion.

I have been on a far longer journey internally of expanding my mind and self knowledge. Any conversation about vitality - physically, mentally or spiritually- I’m all ears.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals, after lots of hostels I’ve noticed I don’t meet many locals and people move quickly!
