About Me

I'm a 20 year old folk music student, currently studying in Rauland Telemark. I am originally from the East Midlands of England.

As a musician I play diatonic accordion, harmonica, banjo, ukulele and jews harp. I am always really keen to share music with new people!

I am keen to travel around Scandinavia and make new friends!

Love to chat films, music, politics. Very interested in exploring new beers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Whenever I travel i like to make new friends and experience people as well as a place. I also enjoy finding new people to drink with and sample local beers ;)
