Retired firefighter, now working on artistic and cultural projects. Always learning, especially Spanish.

I live in Southville, Bristol UK. I often have lodgers at my house, friends and family also stay; so there are often people around, coming and going. Couch-surfers welcome when I have space, especially if you speak Spanish or wish to do a 'room-swap' with your home in Spain. I have a spare room with a double bed.

I travel around in Spain often. I have friends and connections in several places there. I also travel in the UK.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share...

Music, Movies, and Books

I go to live music gigs a lot, particularly jazz, which there is a lot of in Bristol.
I play some improvised and experimental music with some friends.
Recently I've read Gabriel García Márquez, George Orwell, Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf
I write theatre reviews and go to the theatre often.
I like independent and art house films.
