About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To check out Barcelona.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pleasant sort of man. I don't smell, or chew my own feet. I like cinema, politics, music, history, good food and good beer. Guitarist/poet/comedian, but now retired. Currently working freelance as an editor but headed back to university to study Art and Anthropology...

PHILOSOPHY

Never, ever, ever try to sum yourself up in a text box.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a few times but unfortunately have never been able to host since I've never lived anywhere with enough room. But I've met up with a lot of people from CS in various cities just for a drink or a gig or whatever, and made a lot of excellent friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only had good experiences so far :)

Interests

I was co-founder of a two-man comedy/poetry/music performance group called "Cheese-Badger". We're pretty much defunct at the moment, though. I've also written some non-funny songs, but they'll all not very good.

I like cooking, but only in an amateurish kind of way. Always keen to learn :)
