About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and meet as many people along the way as possible! Me and my wife Emma are currently taking a year off and travelling the world. Now in Taiwan where the hospitality and welcoming of locals has been incredible!

ABOUT ME

I am a 33 year old sound engineer from London who works in television and has spent the past 5 years working for the BBC in London. Having lived in London all my life I have got to experiance all of the amazing different cultures and things to do that it has to offer and I would love to share them with everone.

I love a good party and have been involved in the dance music scene for the last 10 years. All summer you will find me at festivals all over the UK and beyond sampling every different style of music i can. Music and the creative arts is my passion and so if you want to sit up and talk about it then im sure we will get along.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not a rehearsal. We only get one chance and must take every opportunity we can to meet as many people and experience as many different cultures and countries as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about it through a freind last year when they had two couch surfers staying with them. Now i have a place of my own I would love to share it and London with all who wish a good time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Requim for a dream has always been one of my faviourte films and I think Darren Aronofsky is a genius! Most recent film that i would watch again and again is Drive, a great example that alot of dialougue is not needed to make a great film.

I listen to music contantly and enjoy everything from rock to techno, drum and bass and classical. If it makes a sound i want to hear it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting at the stone circle at the Glastonbury Festival watching the sunrise surrounded by like-minded people and friends is possibly one of my fondest memories.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anyone ever wanted to learn to make music or DJ or make a film then i would love to show you. Its costs me thousands of pounds to get a knowledge in these things and i am here to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have lots of stories from life back in the UK and also from our travels over the past year.
