Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I am doing a part time PhD in Composing for Online Musical Instrument Lessons, I will need a cheap place to stay when I visit Falmouth as my home and businesses are in Cardiff. I like the concept of people helping each other out.

Interests

Piano and vocals teacher, self-employed for 12 years. I am classically trained but I play more blues, jazz and pop these days. I love studying and if I complete my PhD that will be 12 years as a student. I really like socialising, comedy, debating, travelling, gardening and cooking. If you have a piano in your home I will gladly put on a performance.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of good music, but I am a musical snob and detest most chart music!

My favourite films are Withnail and I, Twin Town, American Beauty,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am part of a group called Frack-Free Wales, and we are the only home nation to have successfully secured a moratorium on fracking in Wales.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach piano, vocals, music theory, entrepreneurship, media, creative industries, public relations, politics.

I learn new stuff all the time so I'm looking for interesting conversations mainly. Just discovered an aptitude for science and as my PhD degree is music with computer science. So I'm looking for computer nerds in particular as I want to be a tech billionaire when I grow up.

I don't want to blow my own trumpet but I am an excellent cook :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll help out with cleaning, cooking, teaching (Enhanced CRB checked), I'll give you a free music lesson and any tips you want on being a self-employed entrepreneur.
