I'm Jacob. I'm a PhD Student, studying musical instrument design, at Queen Mary University of London.

I play guitar and bass guitar, and like to cycle round london and go to gigs. When I'm travelling on holiday I like to go camping and see nature as much as possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted couchsurfers in the past and found it a really positive experience. I think it's a great idea and a fun way to meet new people in new countries

Interests

My favourite things to do are to play music, go cycling or to sit in the pub with friends. I am trying to get better at cooking and try new recipes too!
