Hello, I’m Charlie, I’m an actor/musician/puppeteer on a bit of a life break to explore wonderful France. Together with my boyfriend Paul I’ve been volunteering in France for the last few months as ‘HelpXers’ (see www.helpx.net/profile.asp?usercode=2142382JP) Our current placement is in Normandy and as we both have September birthdays would love to spend a bit of time in Paris on our way home to London!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love the idea that we can help each other explore this fab world of ours. I’ll be hosting as soon as I have a place back in London because I love my home but understand how daunting it can be to explore a massive city

Interests

• acting
• music

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical tastes got stuck in the 90s so indie and also classical music (but my repertoire knowledge is rubbish!) Big reader, particularly modern fiction, dystopias. As an actor I’m mostly theatre; love Shakespeare, puppetry, children’s theatre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played in orchestras when I was younger (and in fact have my violin with me!) so was so proud to play at the Royal Albert Hall with my orchestra. Also I got to perform at the Sydney Opera House a couple of years ago with the kids show I was touring with - a definite career highlight!

Teach, Learn, Share

Always happy to talk about places I’ve travelled and love hearing tips for future wish list destinations

What I Can Share with Hosts

Plenty of enthusiasm for travel, the arts and a love of wine ;)
