CURRENT MISSION

To experience new people and make new memories, whether through my music or just through living.

ABOUT ME

I'm a singer/songwriter (I have solo music under the name Adrian Glynn and also have a folk music band called The Fugitives ) and I'm also an actor (I've had small/medium parts in shows like Arrow, Supernatural, Smallville and a couple small scenes in The Revenant) . My favourite feeling is finishing a song, or maybe singing one for people. i was in India many years back which is where i got into Couchsurfing. it's hard to write generally about yourself- i'm quiet, but that's before you get to know me. i like talking about ideas with people, and their experiences- i'm a searcher, whether it's spirituality or life philosophy i'm always willing to listen to those wiser than myself (who are many). i'm not a big partyer, but i like to have a few beers with a few people at at time. i love the outdoors, trekking and camping, but i live in the city.

My girlfriend/partner Marlene is also an actor (plus an amazing violin player and burgeoning playwright/screenwriter). She's one of the funniest people I've ever met, loves her cat Sunflower WAY more than me and is the love of my life. We do lots of traveling together, so I may be looking for someone to host both of us together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I became a believer in the CS movement when I had nothing but AMAZING experiences couchsurfing in India and the Middle East. Unfortunately I can't offer accomodation in my home at the moment, but if I'm in town I'd be happy to go for a coffee or a beer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing but great experiences all over India, in Jordan, in Morocco, in Ecuador, the US, the UK and home in Canada.

Interests

I love music- anything written because the writer had to write it, not because he was paid to. Love the mountains and the ocean, though i live in the city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once paddled a kayak through a pod of about 50 killer whales. I visited the lowest and highest motorable roads in the world in the same year. I taught guitar to youth in the Bombay projects. I've acted in a scene with Leonardo DiCaprio and sang with Glen Hansard and Buffy Saint-Marie.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music is always a great place to start. If you play or sing, we can play together. I also just love chatting and having a beer or a coffee. I love learning about the history and politics of places that I'm visiting.
