I've been a musician and record producer for 16 years now, whilst that has taken me all over the world in travels and living situations i'm now trying to settle down somewhat more. I've just arrived in Bristol and am trying to give it a go here. I could do with sofa's, new friends and some casual work whilst I get setup and get back into the freelance production and start training toward more regular teaching and social work.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't Run For The Bus

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Only stayed on a few couches so far but i've always enjoyed the company.

I've had many people stay at my old flats, friends of friends, bands though often not via couchsurfing etc

Unfortunately i don't have a permanent home at the moment but i will definitely re open the couch when i do.

Interests

Musician full time, artist when i have time, and always practicing my writing, would like to develop into a longer story in the future. Want to be a social worker or a teacher, often to be found landscaping, garderning or working in bars depending on what's available, surviving as a touring musican involves a certain amount of diversifying.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taken care of a small section of rainforest in Mullumbimby for a while, with the snakes, spiders, koala's, wallabies and more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been a touring artist, recording engineer and producer for 166years for orchestras and bands so if you want any tips, also done vocal and guitar coaching and mentored young musicians

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to help around the house or garden during my stay, also up for as much socialising as a host would like but happy to just have somewhere to sleep if people are busy
