Hey guys! I'm an audio engineer turned business owner, director of FestivalMart Ltd. I grew up in Preston, Lancashire, but have since moved to stay in Guildford for 3 years to study at the University of Surrey, also spending a year on placement in London, working at Abbey Road Studios. The future holds a Graduate Assistant's job at St Edward's School in Oxford, expansion of FestivalMart, pursuing more business ideas and travelling A LOT. In my spare time, I lose myself in business and psychology books, play my favourite tunes on electric guitar and watch documentaries of the people I admire.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm here in the hope of getting decent places to stay to aid my love of travelling. I'm liable to be anywhere from Bournemouth to Preston at any time of the year, so it's super useful for me. I also hope to return the favour to travellers at some point.
Music, Movies, and Books
Artists I would listen to all day and not get bored: The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Iron Maiden. Films: Spirited Away, The Prestige, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump and Philadelphia.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
