My name is Murray but most people call me Muz. I am 23 years old and i'm now living in Bangkok, Thailand.. I'm currently learning 2 languages; Thai and Vietnamese. I lived in Thailand for 5 months and can speak Thai reasonably well. I also lived in Vietnam for 2 years so I can speak Vietnamese to a relatively high standard.

Motto: Anything is possible.

Current goal: Find private English students in Bangkok.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet people and open up new opportunities in my life.

Interests

I have played guitar for for almost 10 years and can never resist picking up guitar if I see one and playing a few songs. I can also play the clarinet (to a poor standard, I was made to learn as a kid), ukulele, I sing a little and used to do heavy metal vocals in a band too and I sometimes produce electronic music on my computer.

Aside from music I LOVE watching films, my favourite genre is Horror but I'll watch anything. I enjoy collecting films (mainly horror's). On top of this, I write horror film reviews for the London Horror Society. I also have a crazy obsession from The Matrix Trilogy. I love the fan theories, the hidden stuff within the film and Keanu Reaves! :D

Aside from music and films I have a great interest in the video game industry. I play A LOT of computer games every single day and have even tried my hand in game development and level design making very simple games. I am very interested in technology too.

Lastly I enjoy going out with friends and meeting new people, I love travelling, and exploring new cultures.
