Currently renovating my new house!

I'm a down to earth, easy going, guy who likes to connect with everyone in a real way. Music is my first language – listening, playing, composing. I'm a christian, trying to work it out, belief means a lot to me.

In an incredible co-living project with 10 others. I've seriously attempted to learn another language about 4 times but lack the time to make it stick. In the absence of activity I slowly gravitate towards the ground.

My philosophy in life is simple. Love God, live for people, stay healthy. This normally always involves friends, music and a kettle. Also, don't work at something you don't have time for - if it's worth your life give it your time, if it's worth your time give it your life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people, new experiences and learning new things! I can host (sociable) people, or just meet up for a coffee with you on your way through.

Interests

People, music, design, architecture, faith, swimming, rock climbing, tennis.

I like photography. I love the sense of freedom that comes with falling. Climbing trees. Live performances.

I'd love to go to Iceland and skydive!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is my first language! There's so much music I appreciate I can no way list them all. Jazz, soul, classical, acoustic, funk, blues, EDM, ambient. For me it comes down to musicianship, melody and cohesion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This one time I ended up escaping from a multi-millon pound private estate, evading two patrol cars and their guard dogs after taking a totally innocent countryside stroll one summer's evening with friends.

This other time I went to bed early.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you about music. We can talk about life and everything in between over a cuppa in the garden. I play saxophone, guitar, piano.
