Hi there,
fáilte! I’m Fergus, a Scottish master’s student living in Italy. I joined Couchsurfers because I love to travel and I enjoy stories - so, staying at the homes of like-minded people from other countries seemed like the best way to combine these two things.

Here’s a bit about me:

Firstly, I’ve recently just finished my BA in Aberdeen, Scotland studying politics. I like to travel, socialise, read, play my guitar, and various other bits and bobs. I only speak English fluently (well, just about), but I am also trying, perhaps in vain, to learn Italian. My mum likes to say that French was my first language, but this is maybe a bit of an overstatement considering it’s solely based on the fact I used to call my Lion King teddy “chat”.

I plan to use this app as a way to meet new people while travelling. But this is probably the same for most people on here so to try and distinguish myself, I’ll give a wee story:

My earliest memory of being abroad is probably when my family and I travelled to Athens. Within one day, both my parents’ wallets were stolen, including their bank cards. I enjoyed that trip so much I thought “more of that, please”. And so here I am, many years later, seeking out my next big ‘would-be-funny-to-use-in-a-Couchsurfing-bio’ adventure!

So, as a potential guest I can offer a relaxed atmosphere, fun stories, and an open-minded attitude. Hopefully see you soon! :)

P.S. I also like drinking pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to pick, but… surfing on the icy waves of my home country Scotland
is pretty cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my experiences of different countries, teach some Scottish slang, and show you some (pretty basic) guitar chords!

What I Can Share with Hosts

How to dance a Scottish jig; basic guitar lessons; silly tales; and good energy.

I also enjoy conversations about politics, the universe, nature, your favourite meal, your life's ambitions, and everything in-between.
