Hôla all! I'm Martin, I'm half English, half Irish and all 'world'. Have been travelling and experiencing the (mid)adventures of life since I was 17. Happily ensconced in Bristol now (it really is a uniquely wonderful city!) but still eager to get out there and see what surprises and new characters the world has to offer... It's the raw material every writer needs!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's a lot to be said for 'my house is your house'. It feels much more conducive to a healthy planet that we exchange our lives for the good of those that take heart in getting out there!! We can all help each other just that little bit... Peace xx

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: all. From Kate Bush to Skotta to Strauss to Moloko to Fleetwood Mac etc etc..
Film fave: Led Diaboliques.
Writers: Martel, Mantell, Tartt, Conrad, Marlowe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked for a charity on Koh Phi Phi in Thailand after the tsunami. A profound experience..

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to share my time when I'm in Bristol as a tour guide for the city! Can do so in English or Spanish! And when I'm away my company is excellent and I make a great house guest ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I visit somewhere, I always try to immerse myself in the authentic life of a place... Show me what you've got world!
