ABOUT ME

I'm optimistic, warm, gentle, happy, musical, whimsical, thoughtful, simple. Interested in the wide world, in people and their stories. Looking forward to hosting - some wonderful ones have helped me out during my travels and I'd like to repay the favour...............

Interests

In no particular order;

Tea(especially in good company)
Travel (Peru may be next)
Cooking (for my friends)
Playing music(everywhere)
Languages

and apart from that I very much like;

Brighton, being by the sea, red peppers, charity shops, cosy pubs, Bob Dylan, old black-and-white photos, Italy, culture clashes, cheese, hitch-hiking, Bill Hicks, The Office, running, Tom Robbins, Tom Waits, Thai food and other things I will remember later on the train!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies; The Life Aquatic, The Last Waltz, Man on Wire, Waking Life, Spinal Tap and I'm Still Here!

Music; I'm partial to a bit of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Gillian Welch, Andrew Bird, Alela Diane, Beirut and crackly blues recordings from the 1930s

Books; A Hundred Years of Solitude, Midnight's Children, The Idiot, The Little Prince and Even Cowgirls Get The Blues

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching to play the guitar is one of my favourite ways of spending time. I also know a bit of French and Spanish, so I guess I could offer some language pointers too. Apart from that? I've got great advice about growing and maintaining a fine beard. Limited audience for that one maybe.
