About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting like-minded people and taking opportunities for adventure is right at the top of my to-do list for this year.

ABOUT ME

British guy currently living and working in Phoenix. While not working I'm usually playing guitar with my band mates or getting out of the house to hike or rock climb. I've recently discovered the awesomeness of mountain biking, spontaneous road trips and American IPAs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To practice positivity and being present. To share rather than consume. To be less judgmental and to be more open to new people and experiences.

Interests

Besides writing music, traveling and generally being sociable, my main interest in life right now is being more adventurous; trying things I'm afraid to do and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm partial to a good Weezer singalong. I'm open to all kinds of music... listening to a lot of Jazz lately. A few books I recently enjoyed: Catcher in the Rye, The Element, The Old Man and the Sea, Peace is Every Step.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Pretty much every time I've put myself out there, done something generous or said yes to things I normally wouldn't, I've been rewarded with something special and unexpected. I've seen and done plenty of bucket-list items but that's really the most amazing thing about life for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to teach people guitar or sharing a good jam session. I'm not a big story teller but I'm a great listener!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Despite the last couch surfing meal catastrophe I'm usually a great cook and I'd be delighted to make you some Indian or Thai food!

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Belgium, Cambodia, China, Croatia, Egypt, France, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Laos, Latvia, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

United Kingdom, United States
