I'm a second year Physics student at the University of Cambridge, but I promise we're not half as dull as we sound. I play the mandolin with a folk group, and love nothing more than chatting to people in the pub, playing some tunes, and drinking a couple pints.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet interesting people, to help others see the city that I love, to see the world before it's gone. Also, to bunk for free.

Interests

I listen to jazz, ska, pop, blues, electro and anything that I can dance to. I love playing music with other people, especially when it's spontaneous. Music brings us together, right? As I say, I play mandolin with a folk band, mostly for dances.
I also draw in a small sketchbook I keep with me most of the time. It is like a journal, with diary entries mixed with sketches and quick paintings. It's quite special to me, and I'd love to show you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided at 8:30am on St Patrick's day to blow my appointments, travel 20 odd miles to a place I'd never heard of to play music with people I'd briefly met the night before. Not very smart, but it turned out to be one of the best nights of my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: Origami, folk tunes of the British Isles
Want to learn: Dancing!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share music and stories. I can also respect if someone wants privacy or for whatever reason can't or doesn't want to spend much time with their surfer. I love company, but I would still be incredibly grateful to anyone offering a floor and a pillow alone!
