Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In three shows, the band raised almost £3,000 for cancer charities. Last show was January 2015.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can show a few guitar licks, some nifty ways to blow a mouth organ, and can teach piano with all the bad habits that teacher's hate.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to cook!! Have a nice repertoire of dishes and know quite a few vegetarian recipes to boot. Love conversation. Into the news and enjoy debating. Play a few instruments, so always good for a jam. Will have a bash at whatever exercise/sport/activity you're into. Will party all weekend with you, or chill and relax. Will try anything!!
