About Me

Born in Wales, raised in the Midlands of UK. Studied in Melbourne. Whilst studying, I followed my passion and became a franchised Personal Trainer. Decided the fitness industry chapter is coming to a close, and it's time to explore the world.

Using Vagabonding (by Rolf Potts) as my bible, I hope to meet some incredible people and come to new terms with understanding myself and life around me. First up is the USA and Canada, then over to Europe via Iceland. I'm still deciding then to head back to Australia via Africa, the Middle East or Russia -- only time will tell!

Food is incredibly important to me, in an experimental sense.. I love fasting, trying new things and just seeing how my body interacts and adapts to new food inputs.

Writer at martinw.co, runner, and aspiring scholar.

Amateur, obsessive interests in mythology & psychology.

I take my health seriously; love deep-diving, Alice-in-Wonderland-like discussions; evenings over a glass of red; trail running and light-hearted debate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Taking 6-12 months in between this chapter and the next one. Hoping to meet some curious people and really excited to hear stories from all around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Total Potterhead. Over the last decade or so, I don't think I've ever not had one HP book on the go. Generally enjoy big fantasy novels like Dune, Lord of the Rings, etc. When in the mood, any of the classic philosophy texts give me chills, whether its Neitzsche, Jung,...
