About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be a profesional musician and play music around the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very fun and easy going kind of person, know how to cook, clean and be independent. Love to travel and experience what ever life throws at me. No stress and no expectations always makes it easy to have a great night.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest and try everything once, your only here once after all. Always be kind to others and treat them how you would like to be treated and as my mum always said - everything in moderation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Me and my friend Dan have lived together for quite a while and during the time I lived there we would often have couch surfers through to stay. It was awesome to be able to show them around our home town and being a musician my time was flexible so often able to help out with lifts and transport and showing people around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have been hosted by some incredible people and been taken care of in New Orleans. Was amazing.

Interests

I love traveling, seeing the world. Playing music is my biggest passion and have now been lucky enough to turn it into a career. I also really enjoy making short films and spending time with friends and family.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies with great stories and am definitely a sucker for Disney. Fight Club, Shawshank Redemption, Inglorious Bastards, Love Actually, The Matrix, Schindler's List, Inception, Monsters Inc... The List goes on!
Music is my biggest passion in life and I fill my life with it. I love all styles of music but I especically love good lyrical and melodic music - John Mayer, Sara Bareilles, Jamie Cullum, Billy Joel, Jason Mraz, Gabe Dixon, Lior. I play mostly Jazz, Blues and Swing music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share the gift of music, having played all over the world as a musician has meant I can share the love of music to others.
Traveling is something I love to share, experiences, stories, tips and tricks.
I also love computers, I can fix your computer while I stay with you ;)
I can Swing Dance, or Lindy Hop as it's sometimes called, I would love to share with you how its done!
