Full-time Network Engineer, part-time musician and hovercraft repairman.

Scottish dude that likes a laugh and to get out of the central belt whenever possible. Terrible at writing profiles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First trip ever in Canada in a few months time and looking to explore places off the beaten track. Spending a week in British Columbia and Alerta before heading east.

My 2nd solo trip but this will be longest. It'd be good to get some banter along the way with folks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flirted with music promotion for a very short while but in that time I put together a full day festival in my home town, with 10 hours plus of music and raised over £2000 for a children's cancer charity.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I provide excellent knowledge of Irn-Bru, the Proclaimers, Rod Stewart, Scotland's terrible national football performances and the Krankies. I also cook a half-decent curry.
