I sing and write songs and play them to people and to myself. I am originally from Cornwall but have spent most of the last 10 years based in London, apart from when I've been escaping. Always happiest when I'm escaping.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't done couchsurfing for a good few years now, but in the past in has been the most wonderful and rewarding experience. I now find myself in the position where im spending a few weeks in a city where i dont know too many people, and so im hoping to make a few new friends and enjoy a city through the eyes of the locals once again.

4/5 years ago I went surfing for 6 weeks straight around Europe, I was playing music along the way in every possible capacity it seems..

I surfed in Gent, Tessenderlo, Antwerp, Prague, Salzburg, Peschiera La Garda, Padova, Florence, Siena and Livorno.

Whether its for a few nights, the one night or just a beer, it will be really great to get to know some of you again. Looking forward to it!

Interests

Music, naturally. Food. Football (Soccer). I like to spend any available time having fun with my friends. Love playing music for people. Love meeting new people. And as i said, beer and running are my two vices.
