CURRENT MISSION

To make music, poetry and other writing that surprises and excites me.

ABOUT ME

I am a poet and musician and earn a living through both performing and running workshops in schools, youth groups and other settings. The aim is to make enough money from performing and writing to be able to just perform and write and survive just doing what I love.

I lived in Spain for a year during my degree and loved it, got a suntan, learnt Spanish and got a taste for sangria and coffee in the sun.

I'm a writer and a thinker who reads a great deal, likes to play football and keep fit at the gym, and also to go out and party.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couchsurfing, but have slept on lots of peoples' floors and sofas and spare beds and had plenty sleep on mine. I love to travel and meet new people.
