About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get the most outta what you've got

ABOUT ME

Made my way down from the utmost town in the UK now to the capital over my lifetime. Currently in limbo between leaving the student lifestyle and having to arrange work commitments in the big world. Decided to stay a student another year doing the things i love the most, music and its applications. Trying to keep myself busy with as much music/travel/creativity as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Since being in the student/grown up limbo is essentially the start of really finding what works for me outwith the comfort of Uni i don't believe i have been able to find what makes me truly happy, however always taking life to the full with what you have and not to let your path way subtract from the good will of others are good morals to take along.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Welcome participants to Edinburgh and looking forward to being able to meet new people offering their couches on my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed with people in Germany, Norway and hosted people here in Edinburgh. Can very easily say the experience has always been positive and I have been left with great memories.

Interests

Love Music. As mentioned before, i try to include as many musical options possible in my spare time. Be it spending ALL my money on going to gigs/nights, playing the guitars, making software, trying to come up with cool new electro-acoustic music, its all what i enjoy the most. I also like to think i'm an intrepid mountain biker but Scottish weather and Uni work get in the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not so much a fan of specific music, more of what thoughts it provokes since all music can carry such diverse messages. However I do tend to keep clear of excessively manufactured trend stuff. Not a huge movie watcher, although silly films are fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Won a hitchhike race to Paris from Edinburgh whilst spending no money and beating someone who took the plane. Jamming to Faith No More with John Sinclair, Ozzy Osbournes keyboard player. Once saw everything turn blue when a large meteor shot over above and burnt up overhead in the highlands. That is something i wont forget in a while. Meeting your friends unknowingly all over the world is also an amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Play a few different instruments and have a big interest in music production and technology. I have taught before and love the experience. Mountain biking all across Scotland is a favorite of mine and have an extensive knowledge of good locations across the country. Having lived in the Highlands of Scotland for the majority of my life and Edinburgh for 5 years now. I feel safe to say i know some good places.
