Hi, my name is Jake and I live and travel with my beautiful wife Angela (see us both in my profile pic). I am from in the historical City of Canterbury, just South of London. I spend my life working multiple music adventures, including guitar teaching, gigging, hosting sophisticated music events and street performing. I am also a trained chef, but gave it up after the exhausting and repetitive lifestyle drove me insane. I am however still a huge foodie, and food plays a huge role in my travel adventures. I am also passionate about fashion, cats and really love hats.

Angela, who I share this profile with, is original from Indiana USA. We met whilst she was studying abroad at Kent Uni. Angela also loves music, is a graduate of Theatre and drama and loves all things animals and nature.

We are both very chilled out, open minded people. We are passionate about nature and wild life and love exploring, discovering and learning. We love to soak up different cultures around the world, see great sights meet new people. On a night out we will always choose a nice meal and quiet drink over a night club and 1 million shots. People say we are kind, sweet and easy to get along with. Between us we have fair bit of travelling experience under our belt, and like many on here, I do not think we will ever stop exploring.

We are clean, well organised and polite and will always treat you and your property with great respect. In return we expect the same. When using couchsurfing.com we will always be travelling light, so will be coming with minimal luggage. All we ask for is a safe, comfortable place to sleep and the chance to meet some friendly faces and make new friends. We also promise to always communicate with you regarding any changes or delays to our plans. Again, we expect the same from you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are on Couch Surfing as it allows us to explore, meet new people, make new friends and create great new stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Its pretty obvious from my profile that music is the centre piece of my life. As a musician I a am a bit of a traditionalist. But I do always welcome and support modern innovation. I mostly appreciate good song writing and real emotion. Favourites include Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, The Doors, Janis Joplin, John Mayer, Gary Clark Jr, Leon Bridges, Miles Davis and pretty much any thing blues and jazz.

Food: I am a huge foodie and love exploring food culture all the way from farm to plate. Food culture around the world fascinates me. The one great similarity I see with all food cultures is its ability to bring people together peacefully.

Fashion: I dress in clothes that inspire me and look good.
