CURRENT MISSION

Working, travelling, playing music, speaking languages, meeting good people - ideally all at the same time...

ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance interpreter, translator, occasional musician...have always travelled a lot, and nowadays I'm often on the move for work. Based in London.

I take my violin pretty much everywhere. I play folk music, and sometimes play in orchestras too, work on international music exchange projects.

PHILOSOPHY

Cuppa tea, pint of beer. Be nice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Am currently moving around a lot and have no real base so can't host at the moment. Doing freelance interpreting and translation work so will probably continue to hop around countries for a while yet...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have had plenty of friends to stay before, hosted some friends of a friend from New York, and have stayed on many couches around the world. Loved going out to fancy dress parties with my CS hosts in Innsbruck, Austria.

Interests

Music, languages, climbing, swimming. Joining bands and orchestras wherever I happen to be.
