Traveling Veterinarian originally from the windy, rainy land of Aberdeen, Scotland. I’ve lived in four different countries in the last four years, since I graduated, and have treated everything from wild kangaroos to domesticated alligators.

Currently I share a small house with my American girlfriend, Marina. We have a spare bedroom, an outdoor fire pit for bonfires, garden with our own mango tree, and the town we live in has multiple beaches, cafes and hikes. I like to paddle board, rock climb and spear fish and I’d be more than happy to take any travellers out to do any of those things.

Marina is a former dolphin trainer who has lived on the island much longer than I have and knows all the good snorkelling spots and secret hikes. She’s new to Couchsurfing.

We both enjoy a good adventure and meeting fellow adventurers
. It’d be great to hang out and share some stories. If you can’t stay, then we’d love to meet up and show you our favourite parts of the island.

Some extra information about the house:

- We live in the back unit of a duplex. The front half belongs to our neighbours who are local Hawaiians.

- We typically turn the living room into a private bedroom with an inflatable double bed for guests.

- Whilst I like where we live, it can be difficult to get around without a car. I would strongly recommend renting one. There is plenty of street parking available

- The nearest beach is a 5-10 minute drive as is town centre and the closest hike. There is a bus stop nearby.

Welcome to Hawai’i 🏝️

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I hope to spend the rest of my life travelling and working across the globe, if you get a message from me, it's likely I've acquired a job fixing animals in that area. I've had the opportunity to travel to some pretty cool places, meet some pretty dope people and work with some interesting species. Meeting new people and hearing new stories is my favourite part of life, I'd love to hear what stories you have to tell.
