Hi! My name is Ed and I currently work and live in London. I have travelled all over the world and I really enjoy learning about how people live and their customs.

I enjoy playing video games, learning about cinematography and either playing or composing music. I love exploring new places and I'm always up for a drink. Feel free to contact me whenever and I'll try to reply as soon as possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people of course! I want to learn about your culture, exchange experiences, show people around my city and explore others. Couchsurfing (as you've probably heard before) let's me connect with locals instead of reading books or being stuck in hotels. I look for the authentic experience and where else is better to get that?

Interests

Music has always been a passion of mine. Playing from a young age I can now play piano, trumpet, guitar and sing. I've always tried to be active and try new things, there's always a new sport to learn! At home I like to game or go out drinking with friends and find new pubs and bars. Cooking is lots of fun for me so I hope I can cook for you!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite artists are: Queens of the Stone Age, Highly Suspect, Alt J, Arctic Monkeys, Mo Lowda and the Humble, Bastille, Biffy Clyro, Blink 182, Bloc Party, The Cat Empire, Everything Everything, Frank Sinatra, and More Like Trees. I also enjoy Classical and Jazz music, and much much more!

I'm always down for a good movie, all the way from Marvel blockbusters, to the odd Wes Anderson film, to basically any film by Edgar Wright. If you suggest something, i'll probably watch it!

Detective novels are my favourite by far, although I never work out who the killer is before the reveal. The Cormoran Strike series by Robert Galbraith is one I highly recommend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumping 100m over the view of Queenstown, New Zealand. One of the most scariest things I have done in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn where you've been and where I should go too. If you have any musical knowledge or interest in films or gaming I would love to talk to you about it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to play or teach you any of the music I have picked up, or cook you a (hopefully) delicious meal. If you want to know anything about the UK I'd be happy to tell you all about it or teach you any British slang!
