About Me

I am a laid back, creative soul who enjoys music, nature, good food and meeting new people.

I make raw chocolate and am setting up a business selling my healthy creations and putting on individualised chocolate workshops.

Music is a huge passion of mine and I spend much time playing/writing/composing and generally fucking about with instruments and electronic things that go "bleep bloop". It is good fun

I adore nature and try to connect with it as much as possible. A country boy at heart, I grew up on crispy woodland fires and moonlight picnics. I spend a lot of time researching natural medicine and nutrition, it has become quite a hobby. Raw chocolate is my specialty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe there is something you can learn from everybody. I relish good conversation, it is always wonderful to meet somebody new and see how they view this crazy beautiful world.

I am also wanting to travel about a bit and so, I guess I am on partially here to save some pennies while I do (I don't make chocolate for the money). And it is always nice to meet somebody from the area, who really knows their home surroundings. A win win I say!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music that makes me feel something deeply within - something with passion, soul and something unafraid to stray from the norms

I like books and films that make me think, make me question and that fuel my mind with knowledge and wisdom

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked with deaf-blind people for many years and can communicate via a hands on version of British sign language. Basically sign language, but as the people I worked with could not see or hear, you held their hands, so it was all in the movement. A very tactile and intimate form of communication.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my thoughts, my knowledge, my chocolate making skills, my cooking, my eclectic music collection and hopefully much laughter and many many smiles

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Greece, Morocco, Portugal, Spain
