Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
I think every place is worth to see, to experience a new culture and see what this place has to offer is a really special thing. My preferance for couch surfing is that it is a great opportunity to have an authentic taste of this destination. A great way to meet people who are generous enough to open their homes and hearts to a stranger/a friend they have not met yet. I have enjoyed this way of travel best, whilst not using couch surfings it has been a similar approach. I have have travelled staying on friends couches or friends of friends couches throughout many countries. When I travel what I do normally is to meet and talk with locals and ask them where could offer an authentic experience for me in this place. I like it better, the touristic places are good to see bit I find that they are all quiet similar and are normally more expensive and not as good a quality. Preferentially I like to share a meal in someones house to get a real look at, taste of their culmture and customes. This is why I feel couch surfing is a good fit for me.
Música, películas y libros
My musical preferance is funk rock. The Red Hot Chilli Peppers are my favourite band. I have had the unexpected privalage of attending a small concert where James Brown performed in Stockcolm in 2008. I also enjoy to listen to the Foo fighters; Kings of Leon; The Beatles; Snow Patrol; Thin Lizzy; Sound Garden; Pink Floyd; Nickleback; Nirvana; Rage Against the Machine; Whitesnake; Killers; Manic Street Preachers; Artic Monkeys; Sex Pistols; Alice Cooper; The Black Keys; Peqrl Jam; Alice in Chanes; Guns & Roses; Green Day; Queens of the Stone Age; Coldplay; Muse; AC/DC; Led Zeplin; Radiohead. My favourite film is the Shawshank Redemption. I have not read too many books but am getting opportunity to do it more often these days and enjoy it a lot.
Una cosa increíble que he hecho
I cycled from my home in the middle of Ireland to France a week before the 'beast from the east' snowstorm hit! In 2018 I arrived to Paris the 21st of February with the snowstorm commencing the 22nd. Why I rate this as amazing is that before to take on this 250 km treck I had only ever cycled to school or to work. It was a bit cold but really great!!
Enseña, aprende, comparte
I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge in respect to health and fitness through my study and am constantly adding to this knowledge base. I don't judge others or go around preaching, I share information with those who are interested to hear it. I am always open to trying out new activities and welcome the opportunity to share time with others. I have preferance to stay in and play a card/ board game rather than to go out to explore the night life. Any of the knowledge I have is at the disposal of my host and I enjoy sharing what I have learned.
Lo que puedo ofrecer a los hosts
I have many interesting stories from both my travels and my work. I have over 10 years wort of stories from working as a barman whilst travelling or at home either part time or full time. I've been told one of my strongest attributes for this work is my ability to talk to anyone about anything. I have gained a lot of new friends and heard a lot of interesting stories from these experiences! I am a really good cook and if it is ok to do so would welcome the opportunity to cook a meal for and share some stories with my host.
