ABOUT ME

recent Music graduate from Brighton, England, with a passion for travel (unsurprisingly), photography and American music.

I'm new here, not a murderer, just a young guy who needs a leg up!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I am eager to meet new people and have some new experiences, having reached a crossroads in my life as a fresh-faced, unemployed graduate, and what better way to do it than by sleeping on couches and sharing mine! After a summer of busking around Europe I'm keen to repay the generosity of everyone who helped me on my travels

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Spent 2 months in India teaching music to kids who had never heard of the Beatles

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I have taught many of my friends the basics of playing the guitar, generally trying to teach people to teach themselves songs, rather than giving boring exercises to practice...

Always up for a jam / singsong / impromptu lesson
