I'm a contemporary cellist and composer, I collaborate with singer songwriters, pop bands, theatre directors, actors, dancers and film makers. I love the process of working on creative projects of all kinds.
I also work part time with the botanical skin care company Aesop.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm embarking on some solo travel over the next 2 months and I have friends who are avid couch surfers who highly recommended the idea.
It seems like a fabulous way to meet people from other walks of life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to New York for music gigs 7 years ago was a pretty amazing bucket list thing for me to do. I stayed at The Chelsea Hotel for some of the time (which immediately felt like home to me), and it's where i met some of the most amazingly talented people who I now consider life long friends.
