About Me

I am a musician/composer/singer/traveller. I play violin, guitar and many types of percussion. I have a 3yr old daughter and have recently seperated from her mum which has been really hard. Lately, ive been thinking about changing career to something easier to earn a living from and studying again. Maybe electrical engineering or environmental science, hopefully in Bristol, UK. I can see that it may be time to do a bit of travelling again though.
I grew up in a "middle class"ish housing estate but my parents and our little family of 4 were always a bit seperate from the general community.
Ive been living at Tinkers Bubble, an eco community in somerset UK for 2 yrs learning about growing food, working with horses, forestry using handsaws and axes, running a steam engine etc. i was fortunate to travel abroad as a child every summer and also to go to my granparents beautiful 500year old house in Suffolk, UK most holidays.
My mum is living in south america (i recently visited Columbia)
I have lived in london for a year, Norwich before that. Granada in south of spain after that and in the south of france countryside and Toulouse. Originally i was always a drummer in bands from rock to hiphop to country/funk e.t.c

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i compose and play songs related to my life and love experiences and my political/philosophical/sociological beliefs. i nearly never get payed. im gonna try busking a lot more often but its hard because most of my stuff is quite relaxing so doesnt grab attention in the street....unless i buy a battery powered amp!!! but they are a bit heavy ;o(
so anyway ive also done a lot of living in countries which are not my motherland and learning quite a bit of language and working in the countries, playing music with everyone and im still going!!!!
