ABOUT ME
I'm a travel hungry musician who loves nothing more than learning through traveling. I'm more interested in getting to know cultures and the fascinating people that live within them rather than just doing tourist-y itineraries.
I currently live in Islington, North London, after completing a Master's at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I couch surfed throughout Europe back in 2012 and 2014 and have had some people stay at my flat in London and home in Los Angeles at various times.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had amazing couch experiences when I travelled through Spain, France, and Germany. I made many friends who I still talk to, and have also hosted former hosts of mine.
Interests
I'm a musician so I spend most of my time writing, recording, and gigging with various bands. I'm currently working on solo music, and I have big dreams in terms of being a successful artist. Other than music, I'm a bit of a history geek who also enjoys politics, film, the outdoors (I like nature a lot), foreign languages, foreign food, etc.

Teach, Learn, Share
If you ever need advice on London, Los Angeles, Minneapolis or Liverpool feel free to ask as I've lived extensively in each. I'm an accomplished musician so I can teach pretty much any instrument if you really wanted to learn a bit, and I'm very knowledgeable about history.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Music, cooking, cleaning, witty banter, dry humour.
