Hello,

So I'm Scottish... well, probably technically 1/4 Scottish, 1/2 Irish, 1/4 English, but was born and raised in Scotland so will go with that. Plus we can all go far back enough and get into so silly fractions indeed!

I enjoy laughter, especially when other people are doing it and I have helped to produce it. I enjoy the sharing of stories and knowledge, although never a fan of people doing it to try and act like they are better than someone else. I like to be helpful and to lend a hand where I can to make things happen when someone needs it. I like animals and finally trying to be a vegetarian.

Also, originally studied in Computer Science and still do some freelance IT work but now retrained and focused on acting and improvisation.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people, learning new things and the interests of others (especially learning about new things from new people)

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

- An ear to listen, cause sometimes you just need someone to listen
- Improv theatre skills and knowledge (from a performer, teacher and viewer)
- Computer experience and skills, always happy to help with a problem or discuss the merits of the latest chipset from nVidia
- A pretty decent Mario Kart challenger (sorry in advance for the blue shell)
- 30+ years of accumulated Scottish culture (art, history, food)
- Many, many pieces of random knowledge that, on its own, seems to serve no purpose, but is pure gold at pub quizzes!
- Humour - because it makes life worth living :D
