Just updated this for the first time since 2011. I'm now living in Wellington NZ, staying here long term but also travelling when I get the chance! Previous profile: CURRENT MISSION Dodge winter by hopping hemispheres ABOUT ME In the last 5 years I've lived in Ireland, Australia and Canada, and tried not to spend long enough anywhere that I'd get bored. Most recently I've been back in Cork working as a bar/production manager at a pub and live music venue, and now I'm fed up with that again so heading off to New Zealand shortly. I love socialising but at the same time I'm happy traveling alone and I enjoy my 'me time' PHILOSOPHY Ne te quaesiveris extra - do not seek outside yourself. Be self reliant but not selfish. Memento mori - remember you will die. (So you'd better make the most of it now!)

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Haven't done so yet, have good intentions though. I have helped friends entertain several couchsurfers here in Cork in the last year. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE None yet, just met some sound people couchsurfing with friends
Musik, Filme und Bücher
Movies - Die Hard 3! Thrillers, suspense, comedy, mind-fucks like 12 Monkeys Music - wide and varied tastes from Duke Ellington to Fela Kuti to Super Furry Animals to Mstrkrft Books - I read a lot of newspapers, journals and non-fiction, and am very interested in current affairs, science, philosophy, history etc. I am currently reading The Master and his Emissary by Iain McGilchrist which is hugely fascinating and thought-provoking. Also I am reading an account of Terence MacSwiney's hunger strike by Dave Hannigan, and Aldous Huxley's Doors of Perception. In fiction I'm also reading Huxley, Bukowski, Heller, Vonnegut... mostly recommendations from friends.
Eine tolle Sache, die ich getan habe
This is lame, I've nothing decent to put here.
Lehren, Lernen, Teilen
Random useless facts would have to figure highly here. You'd be amazed what crap can accumulate from wasted hours reading papers and wikipedia. In terms of tangible and useful stuff... well I can give advice but am by no means an expert on subjects like Irish culture & history, travel, technology, photography, music....
Meine Interessen
Music, especially live music, of almost any and every kind. I like pubs; especially pubs where people go to have craic and banter, not bars where people go to pose. I like reading and conversation about life and the world. History, philosophy, sociology and all branches of science. I enjoy most sports as a spectator, and I like to go running, cycling and swimming, and to kick a ball around with friends. At home in Cork I occasionally go rowing but in traditional boats so more for leisure than for sport.
