About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm at college in London studying to be a proper sound engineer to advance my career in the music and audio industry! Basically trying to sort my life our before I have a breakdown realising that I'm 30 and still unemployed!!

ABOUT ME

I am a creative person, living in a nice penthouse studio flat with my girlfriend Freya. I have just started a new course doing Sound Engineering here in London, just as Freya has completed her further studies and is looking for a job. We both have a lot of free time at the moment, and enjoy having people over for food, drinks, smokes and games.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, play hard!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just heard about this project from a couch surfer in Croatia and so wanted to check it out. I thought I'd offer up my couch immediately as I enjoy having people round for food, drinks, smokes etc. Hoping to meet some nice people! Then when I go travelling again it'd be great to have the favours repaid!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, at least not through this site, though I've definitely been a traveller bum on many occasions and would have done better with a site like this to help me!

Interests

Music listening, playing, gigging, DJing etc.
Also food, cooking for people.
Reading novels when I find the time.
Going out in London, but not to expensive trendy places - prefer to find the cheap and hidden gems.
Sports - sailing, and anything else outdoor.

Music, Movies, and Books

anything old groovey and vintage, as well as anything new and exciting!
Particularly Pink Floyd, Leftfield, Zepellin and Massive Attack.
Novels recently read and enjoyed: Robert Harris' Imperium and Pompeii; Mark Haddon's - A Spot of Bother.
Movies... whatever's on. I still can't wait to see the new Batman!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just got back from Sarajevo - amazing city! Go!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're into music, professionally, amateurly or just out of interest, we will have a lot to talk about and a lot to play with (i have an extensive home studio!). People who bring their instruments will end up on a recording that may be used someday!

Also if you want an alternative tour of London, I know my way round very well and do most things on bikes - could even lend you one probably. I'm not too hot on the main London attractions cos I don't go to them, but if you want to know where real young Londoners hang out...
