CURRENT MISSION

Researching all the world foods so I can open a restaurant or snack bar with a friend of mine. It's gonna be awesome

ABOUT ME

I run a small screen-printing business in my home town making prints for all the bands. I got into this after being in bands myself for years, you kind of end up at a loose end after your band wraps up so we all end up doing something related to the music scene! I still do the odd gig for fun and frolics when I have the time; there's always some cooky music stuff going on here in Glasgow to get involved in.
I spent some of my childhood in Spain so I am fluent in Spanish and pretty good at valencian/ catalan, although through lack of practice and many years they've both blended into one so I need some reminder lessons to separate the two!

PHILOSOPHY

I guess I'm something of a stoic these days, but my opinions are always developing. So many people to meet that can illuminate and show new perspectives! I did a few years of tai chi practice which really adds a taoist angle to everything (even if I don't believe in magical chi energy)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed on lots of awesome people's couches over the past couple of years, been to some great couchsurfing events and now that I'm settled down a bit I hope to give back and have some cool people stink up my new house!

Interests

I'm into music of all sorts- rock, dance, jazz, metal, classical... every style has it's own merits.
