Travelling with my girlfriend Ella in Japan throughout April and keen to meet and stay with locals. We are fun, friendly and open people and love meeting others and experiencing different cultures. Ella speaks Japanese and I am learning the basics. We love the outdoors, food and hiking. Look forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was brought up by very liberal and generous parents who would often invite strangers/musicians/friends of friends to come and stay and I want to live my life in the same way.

The best way to experience a culture or a city is to meet the locals from that area. Rather than the traditional tourist attractions you get to have a 'real' experience of life in another country.

Interests

Playing, performing, writing, listening to and producing music. I play pretty much full time in a band. Listen below if you fancy it :)
