CURRENT MISSION Deciding whether to settle down in this nice corner of the world or go walkabout. Learning Irish. It'd be nice to read more. Tried a little bikepacking this year and would love to do some more. ABOUT ME I live just outside the market town of Skibbereen in the south west of Ireland - a vibrant region which has a healthy mix of diverse people, beautiful coastline, local food and plenty of arts whilst still being essentially rural. Growing food is one of my big hobbies and I work with a company in the area who specialise in supplying organic farmers. I'm fairly introverted and struggle a bit in crowds but otherwise sociable and easygoing. I'd take a deep chat over a heap of shouting in a pub. I'm very conscientious and like taking care of people. Sometimes I'm a bit too blunt but working on that.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
I usually host more than surf as I'm not travelling so much and it's nice to vampire the good vibes from people who are. Love the concept of making the world an easier place to get around. I don't care if you don't read my profile and just want somewhere to sleep.
Musique, films et livres
Music - Lisa Hannigan, Florence and the Machine, Kate Bush, Martin Hayes, Irish trad in general, Thin Lizzy, Bruce Springsteen, Nina Simone Movies - Drama, Comedies, Documentaries Books - I tend to read books beyond my comprehension and start more than I finish. John Moriarty, Joseph Campbell, Flan O'Brien, popular psychology and comedy.
Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
Cooking my din dins from ingredients I'd grown myself
Enseigner, apprendre, partager
I can show you around the garden and some basics in vegetable growing. We might forage for mushrooms depending on the time of year. I want to learn to cook better. Trying to improve my posture and get deeper into yoga. Help appreciated.
Ce que je peux offrir à mes hôtes
You wont leave hungry and if I'm free I can show you some nice places.
