I’m a self-employed musician who also enjoys writing and… damn, this feels like a dating app bio now! I’m just signing up because I’m travelling through Europe this year and would like to stay with locals rather than putting money into Airbnb.

If you want to do a bit of online sleuthing I play under the name Grim Fawkner, and you’ll find a fair few songs online in all the usual spots.
Taking time off work to let vocal cord damage repair, so it’s time to go a-travellin’.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

#1 is really to save money. #2 is to meet awesome people who are proud of where they live and keen to share that with the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music-wise I’m currently spamming Huun-Hur-Tu’s ‘Ancestors Call’ album, and movies-wise, just watched Everything, Everywhere, All At Once and loved it. Books wise I’m a big David Gemmell fan, and am also bout to pick up a Conn Iggulden novel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played a traveling festival in the Netherlands called “Convoi de Fete”. Best way to see a country yet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some guitar!

What I Can Share with Hosts

An enthusiasm for your own homeland, why else would I be there? I also fancy myself a pretty handy cook, and don’t mind doing a bit of gardening or cleaning for somewhere to sleep.
