CURRENT MISSION

See as much of the world as I can, and meet as many different people on the way

ABOUT ME

When I first set this profile up I was about to embark on an 11 month trip to S. America and S.E. Asia, which is not done and dusted. It was absolutely fantastic. I have set this up again because I would be up for doing some hosting.

I'm a fairly laid back kind of person. I'm happy and enjoy life. I grew up on the west coast of Scotland, which is still my home. But I now live in London and have done for the last few years. I now live in North London in Islington which i like a lot. I live with four good friends and love our place. I like a bit of pubbing, clubbing and all that. I love my music, books, like my films, art and culture, I love wandering around old European cities, with beautiful old school architecture (although clearly not clued up with that lingo). And London has it all. I saw on TripAdvisor that London was the most talked about city for 2013 and this wasn't even the Olympics year. It's a fantastic city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm here to meet people. I have set this up purely because I'm going traveling for 6 months and probably only got enough money for 5 months, however when I get back I would love to play host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm brand new.

Interests

I love the countryside, long walks, hill walking, fishing, and boating. I like to keep healthy, playing football, bikram yoga, tennis, squash, and snooker (not the most energetic sport admittedly). I read a lot, love traveling and enjoy cooking for all sorts of different cuisines.
