9 years ago I quit my job in Canada and sold all my stuff to travel Europe. I live in Glasgow Scotland and I have made it the base for my travels. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I'm quite happy to pay for a room when travelling but the experience is always better when you can make friends & stay with locals.

FYI I have a very dark sense of humour and I swear a lot. I try to mind my language and behave myself when I’m travelling, but if you are visiting me in Scotland then be prepared to hear some colourful language 😂

My goal is to visit every country in Europe and I’m nearly 50% there so far!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is always better when you are with locals. Im interested in people, to see how they live, what they eat, what they complain about & what makes them laugh, learn bad words in other languages, and notice all of our similarities despite having different backgrounds. I'm here to meet people from all over the world and experience different cultures. The best times I've had during my travels were always when I was couch surfing.
