About Me

Big on music to a nerdy degree and that makes up most of my conversation I think, specifics change on a regular basis.
Want to be: Jack Kerouac, David Bowie, an astronaut, Milo from Atlantis.
Books I wish I'd written: Old Man and The Sea, Hemingway; Siddhartha, Hesse; The Bible (how cool would that have been, eh?)
Favourite food: Poppadoms I don't know why either.
People I wish I knew before they died: John Lennon, Captain W.E. Johns, Lee Morgan (coolest jazz trumpeter, the man is unreal. total fiction)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a student, the excitement that comes with visiting new cities and new countries which I find can momentarily render me entirely speechless would be wholly unobtainable were I to hit it at hotels every night. And for this reason I also welcome anyone in my area to a bed at mine if needs be, all I can ask is that people do the same for me.

Interests

Cool things
New things
Red things
Blue things
The Beat Generation (yes, I know they come under "cool" but I wanted to specify)
Sailing. Really big on sailing.
And vague aspects of Music Technology. Mixing and arranging, I began a course on that stuff last year then I dropped out and now I really miss it all.
