About Me

Hi There,
I am songwriter from England now living in Auckland, New Zealand, where I work part time at TVNZ (Television New Zealand). I love travelling, seeing new places, making new friends and having fun adventures. I am easy going, positive and like going with the flow and being open to new experiences along the way. Life is for living!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet people, make new friends and have a richer experience , and maybe see things you might miss otherwise. A much more interesting way of seeing the world.

Interests

My main passion is music. I sing and write songs and used to be published by Warner Chappell in London, when I was in England. I have been lucky to have had a few songs covered by artists internationally. A main highlight was writing and singing a song called "Solitude"which featured in the film "Everything" starring Ray Winstone which was up for a BAFTA.
I spent the last 14 years in New Zealand where I write for films and ads ... I like singing at open mic nights.
I also enjoy photography, filming things and editing. I love the sea and hiking and sunsets and rainbows, I like people being good to one another and making the most of life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Classic lounge music,
Grandaddy, Spoon, Goldfrapp, Bjork, Brian Wilson, Burt Bacharach, all kinds of music!
Baron Munchausen, The Man with Two Brains, lots more then this but right now thats what sprang to mind for some reason!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing Phospherous for the first time at Hot Water Beach, New Zealand. Sky Diving. Beautiful sailing trips.... and for me a dream come true - being invited by Burt Bacharach to sit with him at the piano while he performed "Close to You"!
