ABOUT ME

They'd say that I stay firmly focused on the bright side of everything, find creative solutions to problems and really enjoy the musical road that I am riding on. I am passionate and dedicated to my family and friends and committed to creating a sustainable career in the music industry with my band, The Curious Incident. I'm considerate and compassionate and will be there for those close to me when they get into a jam. I love meeting new people and seeing new places which works quite well in conjunction with my troubadour lifestyle.

PHILOSOPHY

Tell somebody to tell somebody

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the most part I am pretty migratory and will be surfing more than I can host but I can contribute my travel experience to those visiting places I have been and I can put travellers in touch with cool locals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before joining CS I have spent many nights on the couches of friends whilst on tour with my band. I have recently spent two fantastic nights with a host in Ottawa and was blown away by the hospitality and friendliness that I was shown. It was an amazing introduction to the world of CS!

Interests

My biggest preoccupation is singing and hustling for my band The Curious Incident.

I am also very interested in film and literature and spend a lot of my free time watching, reading and writing. Q&A by Vikas Swarup is hands-down my favourite novel, Se7en is one of my favourite films and a recent TV show that has got me hooked is House of Lies.
