CURRENT MISSION

Learn gypsy jazz and study a masters

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly, easy-going kinda person. Probably seem pretty quiet at first but love to get out in the world and have an adventure or 2. I love meeting cool new people, going to gigs, markets, museums, gardens and parks. Catching up with friends for a beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A housemate of mine in Madrid was into couchsurfing and we hosted people sometimes. Plan to host some people in my next abode

Interests

Studied classical guitar and have just begun learning gypsy jazz. I like watching Ray Mears and would like to do more outdoor things. Enjoy learning about adventure stories; Shackletons Endurance story is hard to beat!
I love cricket, particularly test. Dabble in MotoGP, union, soccer, tennis.
Food (especially spicy, the spicier the better) and watching celebrity chefs, my fave prob being Rick Stein.
Occasionally I indulge myself with a cuban and a single malt which is always a great evening.
I like checking out vintage shope.

Music, Movies, and Books

If push came to shove, my fave album is probably Highway 61 Revisited.

My favourite author is Peter Carey.

Fave movie would have to be one of Scorsese's gangster films.

I'm an avid reader of Uncut music mag.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked some of the Camino de Santiago in Spain 2012. I had to pull out due to injury but hope to complete it one day.
