CURRENT MISSION

To get established in London (again) and get back to my music.

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in the world and it's folk. I love music and play a number of instruments. There's not a lot of music I don't like (except Opera & Musicals!). Without music what is life? I love films, books and all the other stuff life has to offer.
I don't travel as much as I'd like, but in a way I've been traveling for 9 years since I left England in 2008 to live in Spain, via Paris København and Ghent.
Anyway, don't know what else someone would want to know, but please say hi and ask.

PHILOSOPHY

I live because I was by the time I realised it and it's better than the alternative...so make the most of it...don't get stuck in a rut...routine makes time pass quicker, change fills years with memories...there's no such thing as good or evil, just don't hurt anyone else and don't waste life.... LEARN MORE, CREATE, DON'T WASTE, HELP PEOPLE

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I finally have some stability living with my wonderful girlfriend Ella. She's agreed that we can offer people our spare room from time to time. It has an inflatable bed which is the same size as a normal double bed. We can host two at a time if you share the bed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Summer 2009 a friend and I hitched hiked to Serbia from Paris for a music festival. We ended up not staying with our CS contact in München as we arrived too late, but she came and met us and we had a great night.
On the way from Paris to Barcelona I stayed with some amazing people who were really accommodating. In Ghent I used couchsurfing to borrow a guitar for a fortnight which was AMAZINGLY generous and very useful.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well wouldn't say I'm a master of anything I do, but I guess I could teach some people somethings about Music, English and Politics...and certainly now the history of Paris, London, Barcelona, Madrid or Copenhagen as I've been a tour guide in all these places!
