Hey!

My name's Gene, I'm a musician/artist/educator based in London! (usually) - also another wanderer fulfilling my lust for life and travelling all over the world whenever I can, and if the time and money can be afforded :)

Would love to share my love for all forms of music with a given host or surfer (I am a drummer, guitarist, pianist, DJ, vocalist/lyricist and producer!).

Incredibly passionate about food and nutrition. It is an essential part of experiencing any other culture; cooking, eating and relaxing is one of the most sacred rituals of any day for me! (I am vegan.)

I like to think I am super easygoing and sociable. A lot of experiences in life, and I can listen well and always contribute to a conversation.

This being said, I also feel I have a good appreciation and respect for silence and space when it is necessary in any living space or social occasion.

My lifestyle choices are based on a deep respect for our planet, all of its organisms and the right to live without oppression. I stand for compassion and respect above all things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a gateway to the local knowledge and hidden histories of wonderful people in magical places...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mainly my achievements! And travels!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you many instruments, I can tell you hilarious anecdotes of my experiences, I can do impressions of regional British accents, I can share the huge vocabulary of slang in London. Maybe you want to know fun facts about things like cats or the Romanian revolution of 1990? Maybe you want to play some instruments? The choice would be yours.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great memories, good food, and all of the skills and experiences I have already mentioned!

I will obviously also take great care to look after and clean any living space I am ever offered! With many, many thanks I hope to hear from you soon!
