I am a freelance musician and teacher. I play piano and organ, and sing as well. I live in Guildford.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I enjoy being able to help out people with their travels, and at the same time meeting awesome new people on a regular basis.

Intereses

Music, and lots of it. Cycling, hiking baking, cooking; making things from scratch that you'd normally buy, like butter and lemon curd.
I have dabbled in learning various languages: I often get complimented on my accent, but I struggle with conversations 😭
I'm currently developing a 'productivity' app combined with a game to make boring or difficult stuff easier to do. It's called Progress RPG.

Algo increíble que he hecho

In September 2010 I went on a Vipassana meditation course in Herefordshire. Although I have only been meditating (nearly) daily since the start of 2015, it was a discovery of the tool I needed.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I love talking about music, both as a musician and a teacher, and sharing my playing and singing. I have been singing and playing the piano for at least 20 years.
I am a pretty good baker, and have taught myself some Swedish massage techniques. Let's just say I'm pretty good at kneading ^^)
