Hi I'm Struan :) I'm 24 and I grew up in the Highlands, in the North of Scotland, but I've been living in Spain since September. I graduated from Cambridge University two years ago and spent one year saving for a motorbike trip to Spain. I came here on a 1997 Honda CB500 motorbike, without a plan but hoping to learn Spanish and spend the winter in the sun :)

I have been working in Granada for 3 months now in a hostel, and teaching English to pequeños niños Granaidinos.

Now I'm driving the long way home! I want to drive along the beautiful coast of Portugal and the Pyrenées de Nord in Spain, and then up the West Coast of France. These are wonderful roads that I have never driven on.

If you have space I would love to hear your stories and share experiences, cook a (vegetarian) meal for us if you would like, and maybe we can even go for a short drive ;) (I have a spare helmet with me).

It would also be a great help to me if you could host me. Thanks!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing to meet people!

I don't have time or money to stay for long anywhere in the cities of Portugal, Northern Spain and Western France so if I'm going to meet anyone I want to meet you open-minded and friendly couchsurfing hosts.

Maybe we can exchange stories and ideas, cook food for each other, enjoy music together, play cards, or even become instant lifelong friends - you never know ;)

Recently I have loved these songs :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Vipassana meditation! A 10 day silent meditation retreat with 12 hours a day sitting and focusing on the breath, no other activities allowed. A mentally challenging thing to do but everyone I've met who has done it loves it, including me. If you're interested I'd love to have a go at explaining why.

教，学，和分享

We can share stories and experiences and swap perspectives on life. We could also share some beers and have a laugh if that's your thing, or we can learn from each other ideas on what makes a meaningful life. Let's see! :)
