I'm Joe

I'm a musician and I love nature and animals.

I play the bass, double bass and keyboards. I can also play guitar and drums. I play with different groups and singers and I even have my own solo disco project call Pink Shabab with who I've released 2 albums writing and playing everything myself.

I love movies, travelling, meeting new people. I like drinking tea and coffee, eating pizza, having a beer or a glass of wine. I don't eat meat, but I open to all food from all over the world. Particularly asian food! But still there's nothing I love more than good old beans on toast.

I live in London but I'm from a small town in the middle of England. Been in London for 10 years now!

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because it's a fantastic idea. To meet open minded people and stay with locals for free.
