I'm Richard, I'm 26 and I'm from Oxford. After school, I trained to be a tailor in London while playing and recording with my band of 11 years (we started at 12!). I have just completed a degree in Classics at UCL and I now plan to go into film.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used Couchsurfing a lot on a recent trip to America and met some incredible people, and I’m hoping to do the same again in Paris.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently I'm listening to Nick Cave's and Arthur Russell's back-catalogues. The best film I've seen recently was In Between, a story following three girls trying to live freely in Israel. Currently reading Ovid's Metamorphoses and An Intimate History of Humanity by Theodore Zeldin

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recorded my first EP at Real World Studios in the UK

Teach, Learn, Share

I could, if anyone needed, give singing lessons, or teach them an ancient language!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music, film, wild stories and an excess of laughter.
