CURRENT MISSION

Help folk where I can and enjoy life

ABOUT ME

Most important things in my life are my work as a part-time firefighter, mountaineering, rock and ice climbing, backcountry (wild) camping and my friends. Quiet guy but with a good sense of humour, originally from Scotland. The simple things in life are the most valuable for me - good company, the open air and learning from folk. In Switzerland with work at the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Happy to give folk a place to stay and an introduction to climbing, mountaineering and the region.

When I'm staying with a host I like to do something to help them and thank them for their kindness.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only stayed with someone through couchsurfing once - a really great experience and learned a lot from him. Look forward to welcoming anyone who's in the area.
