Overview
About Me
I'm a 20 year old male with a strong passion for music, arts, exploration and adventure. I play many musical instruments but I am most proficient in guitar. I adore being outdoors and seeing the marvels of nature. I love history and all the spectacles it has left behind for us. I am always eager to lose myself in the unknown and immerse myself in new and completely different cultures and worlds. I am a big video game enthusiast and can share the secrets and ways of many games. I am a Tolkien fanboy and would be happy to delve into his literary works with you over a beer by an open fire.
At first I can come of as shy but once you get me going I can be a fun and outrageous person!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on couch surfing to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures, to learn and experience different ways of life in hopes that it'll broaden my own horizons and give me a better understanding of the world. I would love to be shown the true essence of cultures and see the raw beauty of the world through a human beings eyes and not a the travel companies. I believe by meeting with and staying with locals I will take away a much greater wealth of knowledge than if I stayed at a hotel with other foreigners as clueless as myself.
Interests
I love music from all genres from rap to post-rock, IDM to death metal, psychedelic folk to funk. I play guitar and I'm a collector of guitar pedals, I strive to create anything that has the most luscious and juicy sonic textures. I love seeing bands and musicians perform live, be it in a stadium or on the streets.
I am an avid video game player with favourites such as Morrowind and Oblivion, Dark Souls, Jake & Dexter, Fallout and anything Fantasy or RPG related.
Of course I crave travelling and exploration, there's nothing I love more than seeing new and wonderous locations. If there's one thing I crave in this world it's things I've never seen or heard of. I am a bit of a nature nut, natural attractions and locations really spark my interest and imagination.

Music, Movies, and Books
At the moment my favourite artists are: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Kendrick Lamar, Swans, Kyuss, Jeremy Soule and Boards Of Canada, to list a few.
My all time favourite movie is The Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring, followed by The Two Towers and Return Of The King. But I enjoy all forms of cinema.
My favourite book is The Lord Of The Rings by Tolkien but I am also a big fan of 1984 by George Orwell and One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey.

I played a gig in a random living room to 7 people.
