Not sure how I can sum up my life here but I'm a pretty simple, relatively quiet, low drama individual overall I'd say.

When it comes to hosting or surfing, I'm open to either spending a good amount of time with my host/guest or just doing our own thing depending on the circumstances.

I'm open to hosting all types of surfers if I feel like they've got a good character or if we've got something in common.

Please give me at least 10 days notice before you'd like to stay; I'm not on here every day so need a heads-up!

Also please don't bother sending me a copied and pasted request without so much as mentioning my name or any mutual interests/experiences we might share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By opening my home to wayfaring travelers and relying on the kindness of strangers to let me into theirs!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very positive overall. I love to see that wide-eyed gaze of the traveler soaking in all the new sights and experiences. I think couchsurfing restores people's faith in humanity. Also whilst hosting, it inspires me do touristy things that I might not otherwise do.

Interests

Quite into music production and, as a result, DJing. But not the cool T-shirt and sunglasses at Ibiza type of DJ, more like the music nerd kind who spends all day searching for three-second clips from old jazz and funk records that I can sample. Music is life.

Sat in a cave in the Japanese Alps in which a 19th century monk chanted "Nenbutsu" non-stop for fifty-three days.

Also the Blue Lagoon in Iceland was pretty incredible.
