Overview
About Me
Hello!
I was born and raised in London... And have finally left!
I'm currently in Japan... which is awesome. Then on the 24th I head to Thailand. After that... Bali, Singapore, back to Thailand/Bali and then on to New Zealand for a thru hike from north to south.
Ive wanted to travel for years and after spending almost 6 years working in London and focussing on my career it definitely feels like the right time to change things up go and see the world!
Im a pretty chilled and easy going guy. I try to make others laugh and smile as much as possible... usually at my own expense.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe the best way of truly seeing an area and experiencing a culture is with the guidance of a local. I also really really love couches.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Not sure if this is amazing or stupid... But there is a fine line between the two sometimes right? I got to watch the northern lights in Iceland while swimming/freezing in a glacial lagoon. Getting to see that while little ice blocks floated around and into me was pretty special. I was in the water by myself (because nobody was brave/stupid enough to join me) and the view and silence was magical. Magical enough to take my mind of the fact that my organs might have been shutting down.
Teach, Learn, Share
I've been making music all my life and making it professionally for TV & film for the last 5 years. Want to learn how to make electronic music? Improve your guitar or bass playing? Or just write a song together?
Ive also recorded, produced and edited hundreds of audiobooks... So my spoken English is at a fairly high standard. I'd be more than happy to help you improve your English.
