About Me

I Travel around a lot. Music is my profession, and I make a living playing weddings, parties, playing on the street and playing in a lot of different types of bands. I hope to fund my life with music until i can fund it simply just writing music. I absolutely love writing for myself and for others. I guess everyone needs a dream and currently this is my one.

Playing football was my passion before I found music, and still have a keen interest among other sports.
I'm extremely lucky to have the friends I do, as me and all the friends I make seem to look out for each other very well, find each other work, make sure everyone is doing their best. Very often in return for a bed, I cook meals for a full house of friends.
I love my family very much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Gigging and playing in the streets is a huge passion and funds almost everything I do. This summer I plan to travel Europe with a close friend and excellent musician. At points there will be more of us, as i have invited the best musicians i could find on my travels so far to join me, playing and busking, as a group and individuals. However i always find (as i'm sure everyone on this website does) that staying with locals, or just a friendly face, makes the experience more enjoyable and allows you to get much more involved.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will always be happy to play music. Although when you don't want i can not play music, it's very easy to tell me to be quiet.
However if you want lessons on Guitar or Singing.
Help with Portuguese.
Or if you just need a cook . . . I always love cooking meals i've learnt on travels or just my family fave's.

Seriously though, i can clean toilets, and do any house task you might have so don't be afraid to put me to work.
