Hi, my name is Will. Experienced traveller in traditional ways but very new to couchsurfing and backpacking an open trip. However, I have slept happily on the floor of friend's rooms, stayed in the home's of all cultures as they have in mine and I love the experience.

I am an artist originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland now living in Glasgow, Scotland who specialises in instrumental music, in which I release on streaming platforms under the artist name 'Moon Paw Print'. I also volunteer at a music charity in Glasgow called Music Broth and work with Mind and Draw to provide live art and music therapy sessions. I am also a film composer who has worked on a series of award-winning films.

I am an avid traveler and lover of animals, enjoy football (soccer) and formally a collegiate cross country/ track and field runner in Mississippi, USA. I enjoy learning about architecture and astronomy also.
