About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make noise

ABOUT ME

I'm the sort of guy that loves: Lazy afternoons. Fiddling about with any interesting musical instruments, especially when jamming partners are around. The great outdoors. Hiking, biking, kayaking in the summer, skiing + icehole swimming in the winter. Good food, Japanese / Thai / Mediterranean / African among my favourites. Exploring cities that have lively arts and music scenes.

PHILOSOPHY

Under construction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed on a couple of couches in the US and hung out with several people.

Interests

I'm very passionate about music but also interested in literature, visual arts and theatre. Meeting new people, cities and mountainsides are also among my favourite things in life.
