CURRENT MISSION

Just to provide for people as I've been provided for. I promised myself I'd be more hospitable towards others after my travels but I haven't really managed to do that much yet. That's why I'm here. I may go travelling again though at some point.......

ABOUT ME

I'm a musician.

I've lived in Finland, Australia and Greece and travelled around various places in-between and I know from first hand experience how important it can be to know a local, share a meal and have a place to rest your head.

PHILOSOPHY

Waste not, want not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't know how much I'm going to be travelling. I'm sure I'll take-off again at some point. My reason for doing this though is to be a host I suppose. England's an expensive place. If ever anyone needs a place to crash near Manchester and I'm available then I'd be an enthusiastic host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any negative experiences so far....I've generally really enjoyed being a host although I'm yet to be hosted as I've hardly travelled in the last few years. Hopefully I'll go travelling again in the near future.
