I live in deepest, darkest part of Berlin called Wedding. I'm a tour guide, so I spend a lot of my time showing people old stuff around the city for money. I can also do it for couchsurfers and friends for free though. :) I'm also half way through my Master degree in Modern European History at Humboldt University, which is loads of fun. Ask me about history, food, coffee, art and film. I used to have a joint profile but no longer! Can check out all my old references here - https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/jacinthamurphy

Perché sono su Couchsurfing
Half of travelling is meeting people and the other half is having experiences. Put those two things together and that's pretty much a great Couchsurfing experience. I love sharing things and learning as much as possible about the world outside of my immediate experience. I meet so many people from around the world as a tour guide and it always motivates me to travel and experience more.
Musica, film e libri
Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressing gown, ungirdled, was sustained gently-behind him by the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned: -- Introibo ad altare Dei.
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
Hitchhiked and Couchsurfed around Europe for 5 months. Moved to Berlin on a whim with no money and ended up staying there for 3 years now.
Insegna, Impara, Condividi
I can teach you how to make a mean Irish soda bread. I can also teach grammatically incorrect German and a few words of Irish. If you want random, unnecessary and incoherent historical facts, then I'm your man.
Cosa posso offrire agli host
A consistent ability to consume vast amounts of alcohol and share vast amounts of unwanted facts.
I miei interessi
History, but I also love philosophy and politics. All types of art and culture, but especially photography. I have a couple of film cameras, which I take around the city, shooting all the old socialist buildings and little alleyways in Berlin. I love minimalism in art, and the idea that I can go to a place which has existed for years, decades or centuries, and share in the experience of countless other people there. That's really special to me. I love to cook. Food is one of the best ways of getting to know a country and it's culture. Drinking is the second best way (I am Irish after all). I'll eat or drink anything.
