About Me

ABOUT ME

Hi, Im Jamie.
Im a self employed professional photographer and run a small cleaning company.
I joined couchsurfers to meet like-minded travelers. find hosts in countries id like to visit and to host travelers visiting my country.

My passions are snowboarding, paddleboarding, kayaking, photography, hiking. Basically anything that involves the outdoors.
I like to travel as much as possible ( taking as many photos as i can along the way), I love the experience of sharing cultures and meeting new people.

My dream is to pack everything i need onto the back of my bike and take of on an adventure around the world. I'm spontaneous and like to take risks in life. ( one day)

Until then il keep myself contented by couch surfing my way around the place and meeting as many like minded surfers along the way.

I live in a beautiful part of the World. I love to share it whenever i have the opportunity.
Scotland is a unique little place.
Small enough to travel from east coast to West coast in only a few hours but beautiful enough to ensure you never have enough time to see it all,

If you have some interesting stories to tell, can teach me some new yoga or how to cook your local dish, id love to host you in my home.
