My name's Martin. A few months ago I decided I'd rather be travelling the world than sat behind my desk 8 hours a day. So I quit my job and started travelling. I'm generally laid back and so long as I roughly know where I'm going to be sleeping, I'm basically free to do whatever. I'm travelling with my amazing girlfriend Erin. At some point we're probably going to be on your continent!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ended up quitting my job and travelling the world. One of the best aspects is meeting new people, and what better way than couch surfing?

Interests

Computers, sailing and generally trying to keep the damn thing afloat, old videogames, recently picked up drumming which is a fun way to annoy your neighbours. Love myself some craft beer, or anything that's been fermented, distilled, whatever.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to punk because I never really grew up past the age of 17, or so it feels. At the moment, lots of FIDLAR and Night Birds. Folk Punk's pretty good too (Days & Daze, Pat the Bunny, etc). But I'll also listen to Chiptune, Drum and Bass, Synthwave...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided I wanted to see the world, fell in love, quit my job and got a flight to the United States. Story is ongoing from here...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've got stories. And a ukulele. I might be able to beat you at FIFA too.
