About Me

28 year old musician from Bristol, UK. Percussionist, DJ & Promoter. Lover of all things musical!

Left leaning in politics, enjoy talking about international relations and global issues. Always keen to have new opportunities to connect with people from different backgrounds and cultures.

Been hosting on Couchsurfing since 2007 but haven't been verified as I don't have too much money available right now! I was verified before you needed to pay for it then they downgraded me!!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When travelling I always look to CS...much more fun!

Also I host people at my house in Bristol.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Throwing a massive CS party at a house I rented in Rio back in 2008. We had over 50 CouchSurfers turn up. It was awesome! I hosted a lot of people in the UK and I also surfed a lot in Brazil & Europe :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going into an underground River in Semuc Chapey, Guatemala. Amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could help people out with learning percussion or maybe you can help me learn?

Also, I'm trying to learn Portuguese at the moment as I'm really into Brazilian music, so anyone who can help me with that would be great! As a native English speaker I can help you learn and improve your English skills.
