A long-haired, easy going, guitarist from Yorkshire, England. I make a living through teaching and playing guitar/singing back home. I write my own songs and also play traditional folk music.

I'm a huge foodie, Vegetarian and basically, but not fully, vegan. Always on the hunt for the perfect chilli sauce or falafel wrap!

I'm big on hiking as well, I'm always after finding that good view point!

I like reading, just looking at my bookshelf right now and I've got Laurie Lee, Jack Kerouac, John Steinbeck, George Orwell and Alan Ginsberg up there, plus a load on nature books!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to try and see new places from a locals perspective. I love finding out about other peoples lives, what they do, what they like, what they dislike what they love.

I also tour as a musician and it would be ace to couchsurf my way round a tour rather than spending a night on my own in a hostel.
