About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Owner of www.kernow-coasteering.co.uk. Current mission to build my new business www.cornwallunderground.co.uk

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid-back, down to earth guy. I'm always looking to meet new people, learn new things and have new experiences. I'm primarily a musician (a drummer), but have lots of other interests too.

PHILOSOPHY

A work in progress...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have hosted a few times, surfed all around the World, and met various couch surfers for random things here and there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a few times back in London. I have been surfing a lot since starting my latest trip, and it has been awesome! I have been blown away by how generous people are, and my travels would not have been the same without it! Thank you all! I am looking forward to hosting myself once I stop moving for a bit!

Interests

Playing the drums and guitar. Climbing, reading, hiking, surfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite book is Papillon- the amazing true story of French convict Henri Charriere. I must of course mention the epic tale 'The Enormous Turnip' too.

Films: Big Wednesday, The Prodigal Son, Anything with Jackie Chan.

I have a diverse (and in most other peoples' opinion terrible) taste in music. Mainly I enjoy jazz, classical and rock music. But usually the weirder stuff! One of my all-time favourite bands is NY spaz/jazz shockers Naked City.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked 'end to end'- that's almost 900 miles from John o' Groats to Lands End (where I grew up!). These are the two furthest possible points apart on the UK mainland.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to play the drums/guitar
