***Unavailable til around 22nd October***

Just moved to Thailand. Lived already in Indonesia, Cambodia, Spain and Czech Republic. Visited about 20 other countries over the last 6 years. Throughout 2000 - 2010 was a performing musician and songwriter. Since then have been an English teacher and a professional gambler, more recently I co-own a website that shows you how to make money online from betting. Have written a book about it which is on Amazon. Written and recorded two albums, one in a live hip hop band, one solo singer songwriter stuff.

I have a big house with two spare rooms with en suite and a private pool. Just moved here and seriously bored cos my mate isnt arriving to live with me til sep '17 (now july '17). I'd love to host some guests

If you are in any way anti science, pro Trump, anti vaxxer, a climate change denier, you think all people from one religion are terrorists etc etc please dont ask to stay with me, we wont get on. I am very opinionated, opinions which I expect I'll share with plenty of people on this kind of community.

I am not verified, I remember when this website was simpler and more community focused, less like a business. while I accept the need for verification for safety, at present I am not looking to stay with anyone, rather I am inviting people here, and am not going to pay 45 euros for people to stay in my home. 10 euros ok. I will make a point of showing you my passport when you arrive to put you at ease - by all means insist on it if I forget! But I do expect you to be verified if you want to stay with me, or at least to show me your facebook or other such online presence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed in Paris, Zurich and Kuala Lumpur and I have hosted in London. I've also been to the occasional CS gathering, including a spectacular rooftop party in Kuala Lumpur and to contrast, to an orphanage in Surabaya to take donations (which on reflection I am not sure if research agrees random strangers visiting orphanages is a good idea. Jury is out. Can't be bothered to travel much anymore. I live in a dream home in paradise. You are all welcome to come stay

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While couch surfing I have made a habit of learning recipes for delicious food from hosts, while also showing a few of my own ideas. I have a wealth of musical knowledge that I am more than happy to share.

Interests

I love songwriting, cooking playing guitar. I am interested in social justice, equality, the arts, and football. Deeply concerned about our impending climate catastrophe we must all face. Really enjoy deep conversations that go way beyond the superficial.

Music, Movies, and Books

Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, John Pilger, Naomi Klein, Isaac Asimov. Studio Ghibli, Shane Meadows, Coen brothers. Philip K Dick. Predicable, propaganda hollywood films tend to bore me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have performed at music festivals and have played a concert supporting De La Soul, one of my favourite rap bands from when I was a lot younger. Written and recorded two albums and also written and published a book about making cash online

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how to cook authentic cuisine from everywhere I visit. I can teach guitar and music theory and English :D
