About Me

I have travelled a lot as a backpacker in the past, and had some interesting experiences..... now my traveling is more music/gig-related so I never know where I'm going to go next. I play folk music, on fiddle and banjo, and I'm also a storyteller.

It would be great to have someone to introduce me to the culture of the towns I visit. I also enjoy nature and walking, discovering new things, new musical sounds, new languages.

I love food, and I love discovering new local foods. I enjoy discussing chocolate brownie recipes, local organic vegetables, and so on. I also love tea. And cake. Preferably at the same time!

I seek out beauty in my life wherever I can - beautiful music, poetry, landscapes, meals..... I also care deeply about social and environmental justice.
