Overview
About Me
I live in Stalybridge, a 10 minute train journey from the center of Manchester. It is a beautiful city. I grew up in the countryside and that area has been a contributing factor to giving me inspiration to become a musician at a young age. I love music and I am a very keen musician. I play guitar, piano, drums, bass guitar. I am studied music technology at university, working towards a career in music technologies. I am always keen to meet people. I am a hippie at heart, very open minded, I love to talk and laugh, and I love learning new things from new people.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because I love to meet people, and socialise. I like to share thoughts, points of view, understand other cultures and try new things. I want to contribute to a better understanding between people and to understand the world better.
Interests
As I said, I am a very keen musician and I am working towards a career in music production and Sound design. I write, record, and produce lots of my own songs and have a strong passion for music. I also like to cook, and I love to sit, chill, and talk to people. I am very laid back and easy to get along with.

Teach, Learn, Share
I have taught people to play guitar and would happily teach more people. I would love to learn another language. I like to learn in general.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A positive energy. I love sharing my songs, thoughts, and ideas with people. I believe that one of the most important things to inhabitants of the earth is to evolve. We have been doing it forever and it doesn't end here. True evolution is to evolve ideas, and one great way to evolve ideas is to meet people, talk a lot and share those ideas with one another. I believe this is the fundamental element of the future. We are social beings after all.
