I am a freelance musician and teacher. I play piano and organ, and sing as well. I lived in London for four years, and now live in Godalming.

Unfortunately I can't host any couch surfers at the moment but I want to do it again in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy being able to help out people with their travels, and at the same time meeting awesome new people on a regular basis.

Interests

Music, and lots of it. Cycling, hiking baking, cooking; making things from scratch that you'd normally buy, like butter and lemon curd.
I have dabbled in learning various languages: I often get complimented on my accent, but I have zero conversational ability 😭

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In September 2010 I went on a Vipassana meditation course in Herefordshire. Although I have only been meditating (nearly) daily since the start of 2015, it was a discovery of the tool I needed.

Teach, Learn, Share

Music!! Have been singing and playing the piano for at least 20 years each.
I have also baked quite a bit of bread at home.
