I'm a musician, singer, dancer, artist and writer. For my primary income I head the band Wine and Alchemy playing hurdy gurdy and harmonium, singing and performing world fusion belly dance. You can find my band website at: wineandalchemy.com

I also perform Celtic music solo with piano, make Faery art (eclectic medium), write fairy tales and various works of fiction, and do a variety of other things on the side.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It was recommended by one of my excellent rennie friends (family) and seems a good way to meet people.
