Hi, I'm Stevie! I'm a singer-songwriter based in London and also work in climate change.

I love to play my guitar and sing. I travelled through North America, Australia, Asia and Africa for 7 months in 2022/23 and played loads of music along the way!

Surfing is a big passion of mine. I've been fortunate enough to surf in incredible locations, from Mexico to Hawaii to J-Bay in South Africa. My hometown in Essex is by the sea, but unfortunately, there's no surf there - so I tend to paddleboard with friends whilst I'm there.

I enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories of traveling. I like to cook and try different recipes, whether with new foods or cooking old favourites.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and to learn from locals! I've traveled to 26 countries (plus the Arctic Circle) so far, and have loved learning about unique cultures in each corner of the world. I will always find a way to give back to my host, whether washing up, cooking or teaching more about life in the UK. I think there should always be a balance!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to play acoustic songs, as well as blues and indie when I have my electric. My favourite film is Catch Me If You Can and I love reading about true stories.

Favourite musicians include Mac DeMarco, Bon Iver, Jeff Buckley, and Joni Mitchell.

My favourite TV show is Breaking Bad! I enjoy going to the cinema when I can, and seeing live music in pubs or at shows.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in the Arctic, researching and camping in the wild. Hiking with huskies and visiting remote locations!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always happy to share my music with people. I write my own songs and play open mics/gigs when I get the chance. I can also show you how I record all my music. I know a little German, so if you wanted to know some basic language I can share this with you.

I used to edit and design a fan-run page for Southampton FC Women so I can also share my photo editing skills on my laptop.

I like to read and learn about history and geography too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my English cooking skills (I used to cook for myself and my five housemates) as well as teach guitar. I hope to become a guitar teacher one day, so need all the practice I can get. I love surfing in the ocean too.
