About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To bounce around the world.

ABOUT ME

Currently 33, scientist, loves music and circus arts and travelling, wasting time online and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Existentialist, somewhat, but without the serious face. Life is what you make of it and all that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started as a surfer, and then progressed to a surfee. Due to travelling quite a bit for work and other committments, I'm not always able to host, but I definitely try and have people stay here during the festival when accomodation is hard to come by. And it gives me people to see shows with, so a definite win-win!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've tried CS on my round-the-world trip some years ago, and found a number of wonderful and welcoming hosts. After my return, since I finally had a place where that was possible, I opened my doors for some festival guests, and found that just as rewarding as being offered a warm bed/sofa/mattress somewhere. It's nice to experience the city through a visitor's eye, you tend to forget how beautiful parts of it are if you see them every day.

Interests

travelling of course, music (singing, guitar, bass, saxophone), juggling, fire performance, books, films...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performing at the Beltane Fire Festival in Edinburgh - the sound of a few thousand people going "Ooooooh" when we started playing with our flaming sticks is something I won't forget.
Also my very first time snorkelling, on Hawaii, with a borrowed snorkel kit from a couchsurfee's housemate :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to make music with people while travelling or share juggling/spinning tricks.
