About Me

CURRENT MISSION

For life to be an adventure, either at home or on the road...

ABOUT ME

I would like to live as a struggling musician, but am forced into 'real' work to fund travels....no complaints!

Have found my way to the tropics for now, Singapore is a great gateway to Asia...not such a bad place to be all round.

PHILOSOPHY

If life was supposed to be easy, then it wouldn't be an adventure...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Spent just as much time on couches as I have on beds for the last few years....they do the job!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach? Always happy to give ukulele lessons, more immediately rewarding than guitar!
Learn? Other languages, tho I always fail miserably...
Share? Usually travel with my guitar, and music is the language of us all.....

What I Can Share with Hosts

Guitar or ukulele lessons (depending on what's lying around...)
I have a few "go to" recipes if I'm let loose in the kitchen!
