About Me

I'm on my way to Canada via France, Spain, Thailand, Myanmar and New Zealand. I'll be settling in Canada for a couple of years once there, if all goes well. I've been working in landscaping/building for the last couple of years and now I'm trying to focus on making music and having an adventure, whilst funding myself along the way as best I can. Though it's not all plain sailing, I'm doing what I enjoy and it feels good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling alone can be isolating and expensive so if I can get a place to sleep for free and get some socialising done then I'm very grateful. Anything beyond that is always a bonus to me. I also don't want to just take from you; I'm happy to contribute something back and will be more than happy to offer a helping a hand.

Interests

Songwriting and playing guitar take up most of my time. I like outdoor adventures, especially long distance hikes. I started skateboarding not so long ago so I'm still painfully learning. I'm not afraid to dance. My cookings not bad but I usually wing it. My family's tight and I've got 3 brothers. Reading is essential. I enjoy physical exertion.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A mutually beneficial relationship. You give me a place to crash and I'll help you move a wardrobe or I'll walk your dog or I'll go to the shop for you or I'll peel onions for you. Don't be afraid to ask. If you're a musician then I will without a doubt be down to jam with you.

Countries I’ve Visited

Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, Poland, Spain, United States
