I'm house trained, friendly and won't destroy your couch. I'm a musician, drums mainly but I play several other instruments to various levels. Socially and politically I'm liberal bordering on anarchist. I grew up in London and am now living there again, trying to make a living as a musician.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's one of the best ways to connect to the places you want to see, through the people that live there. Anyone who actively wants to let a complete stranger from another country into their house and their life for a little bit is someone I want to meet as we probably see eye to eye on a lot of things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent two months travelling around Ghana alone, recording music with people I met along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give lessons in guitar, drums, bass, theory... I enjoy cooking with people and am pretty good at the washing up afterwards!
