About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn some stuff, get to know new people, have a few laughs, and do awesome things!

ABOUT ME

I'm a musician for the most part (piano, cello, composing) - but I love all sorts of things - movies, sailing, hiking, eating, exploring, and generally trying new stuff!

I'm a pretty relaxed and laid back person, but I try to do things to their fullest, and to take life with a sense of humour.

PHILOSOPHY

“It is my belief, you cannot deal with the most serious things in the world unless you understand the most amusing” - Churchill

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With enthusiasm.

Many awesome hosts, craggy hikes, improvised meals, fascinating conversations, and lasting connections.

I like all sorts of music - pretty much everything. Right now I'm listening to Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Kanye, Toro y Moi, Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett, Earth Wind and Fire, Beatles, U2, Radiohead, Bach, Simon and Garfunkel, Soundtracks...

Fave authors

Movies!
Recent things I've liked include The Grand Budapest Hotel, Drive, and The Tree of Life, but I like lots of old movies like Strangers on a Train, Charade, and anything by Hitchcock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
