About Me

UPDATE 31/3/2016: I will be working in Portugal for the next 2-3 weeks so am not accepting any couchsurfers until further notice. Thanks everyone for your interest! :-)

I am a passionate person with a passion for all things creative, technical, geeky and musical. I like oranges, apples, bananas and sweet potatoes. Over the years I have taught myself to play various different musical instruments. My latest one is Binky the Black Irish Romanian Bouzouki. Bouzoukis are cool. I believe in the power of the universe and the energies that surround us. Passivley-aggressively agnostic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I didnt realize there was a whole social network based on that principal. I was sceptical but intrigued at the same time so just testing the proverbial water.

Interests

Music. Did I mention that? I like to have a good party but also enjoy peace, quiet and sweet potatoes. I'm interested in buying a new pair of trainers. I like to delve into learning new things, new skills and languages. I am also very enthusiastic about learning new ways to be self-sustaining and off the grid. It is my firm belief that we should all have that option and not just be ground into a system where we become a statistic. We were born (as a species) either living in caves or up trees. I like that idea...just as long as there is good WIFI.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music that touches the heart and soul. Nothing that encourages negativity or bad intentions. Manufactured mainstream twaddle music can stay in the factory. Books: Anything by Douglas Adams. Albert Goldman and Terry Pratchett. Movies: Big sci-fi geek. But I also like black comedies and stuff that makes us think and question the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saved a school from closing down.

Teach, Learn, Share

Music production, sound engineering and musical instruments. Winklepicking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am quite handy in the kitchen. Am good at fixing things. Most things that have a mouse and a keyboard. I like to entertain.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bahrain, France, Ireland, Portugal, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, England, Scotland, Spain, United States
