My names Samuel, you can call me Shmuel (said like “Shmoo-el) Originally from England, I’ve just spent a year living in New Zealand! 🇳🇿 and now I’m leaving to travel around Australia 🇦🇺 from July 2nd.

I am a musician and composer. I am a professional pianist but also play Violin, Cello and Guitar (only a little of the last two).

BEWARE: I’m an adrenaline junkie. I love Cliff jumping 🏔️🌊 , mountain biking 🚴 , skiing ⛷️, slacklining, and many other crazy things. Though I do also like to relax and sunbathe at a beach if given the opportunity (definitely keen to get a tan 🤣🤣)

And of course I love hiking 🥾

I do have pets, but sadly they can’t travel with me. The 3 dogs and cat could get away with it but I don’t think my sheep 🐑 , chickens 🐓 or pigs 🐖 would 🤣🤣

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
