I'm a teacher from Surrey, England, and I want to use my long holidays to experience as much of the world as possible! So far my travels have taken me to Australia, Indonesia, Peru and most recently, Japan (where I currently am) and I can't wait to add to the list. When I'm not out and about, I love music, going to gigs/festivals and am a passionate guitarist and pianist. I've played in bands my whole life and still write and record a lot with my current band.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to experience new places by meeting the interesting people that live there and hopefully making some friends along the way! I love meeting new people an immersing myself in new cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's hard to say as my music tastes very constantly, but the big favourites would be The Beatles (original choice I know!), Led Zeppelin, John Mayer, Jimmy Eat World, Counting Crows and The 1975 to name a few off the bat.

With books, I love classics and my favourite is East of Eden by John Steinbeck, and anything he's written to be honest!
