About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Balancing hard work with lots of fun.

ABOUT ME

I'm Al, I'm 26 and I'm a musician. I play guitar, go for walks, make campfires and drink tea.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn: soak it all up
Create: make it all up
Teach: Give it all back

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted and surfed and met up and travelled with people. Couchsurfing enriches my life and travel experiences and brings me in touch with people whose paths I never would have crossed otherwise. Awesome.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a little, surfed a little more, met some wonderful people. Hungry for more.

Interests

I love music. I love to listen, learn, play, compose, produce, teach. Let's go see your favourite local band!

I try to keep a good book with me whenever I can. I like to make up accents for every character, so sometimes it takes me a while to finish a book.

There's nothing better than long walks far away from busy cities - preferably with a dog by my side.

Music, Movies, and Books

Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Kurt Vonnegut, George Orwell, Isaac Asimov, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Fry, Tolkien. I like books that make you laugh, then when your guard is down, they make you think.

V for Vendetta, American Beauty, Withnail & I, Synechdoche New York, Almost Famous, This Is Spinal Tap, The Lord Of The Rings trilogy

Forget what you know about genre, there are only two types of music - good and bad. Here's some music I think falls into the first category. Tom Waits, Frank Zappa, Bon Iver, Prince, Thin Lizzy, Black Country Communion, Chopin, Opeth, Howard Shore, Aerosmith, Chet Baker, Led Zeppelin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the Aurora Borealis dance around, like a curtain in the sky, over Northern Minnesota.

Making music with people is always amazing, whether it's in an orchestra, a band, at a jam night or around the campfire.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Smoke On The Water on guitar, Chopsticks on piano and Another One Bites The Dust on bass.

Teach me how to cook. I need all the help I can get. I'll buy the ingredients.
