I'm a friendly, sociable and down-to-earth person and very experienced CSer. I'm a bit restricted on hosting at present. I recently moved to a setting where there's others, although I am responsible for the place. I love welcoming people but it won't always be possible due to others in the house, as well as a busy lifestyle and being away sometimes myself. Ask me anyway. I live on the east edge of Galway city. CURRENT MISSION To listen and learn, to encourage and inspire, to love. ABOUT ME Firstly, I love meeting people since everyone is so unique and I get the privilege of being involved in people's lives. I like to laugh - with people, not at them - life can be so serious but it is also such fun. I love exploring the countryside, forests, mountains, getting lost. I will accept any challenge to a game of pool or snooker. I'm a people person. I'm gay. I have a love/hate relationship with religion, but love Jesus. And I like to find out about places and the people in them. I love hearing about people's journeys and I'm fascinated by how everybody is different and wonderful and yet all needing to learn more and be loved more. And I guess I have a quirky and random sense of humour. PHILOSOPHY There's much true love that's needed in this world, and much that can be given. I hope that I can play my part in passing it on. Because it seems to me that it grows when passed on.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've surfed, hosted and attended CS gatherings. Just love meeting different people. Of the people I've met through CS, everyone is so different and interesting - I find people and their stories fascinating. Travellers are generally on more that just a physical journey, so always have interesting stories to tell. I'm interested to hear! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've hosted a lot of people by now, more than show up in the references. I've stayed with many hosts that I hadn't known previously, and other couchsurfing friends. And I've attended CS gatherings in Germany, Poland and England.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I have had the privilege of seeing many places and meeting many people. But in my life and work I have journeyed with people in the some of the most heartbreaking and also joyful moments of their lives. To be a companion on the journey is the greatest of all.
Teach, Learn, Share
I will listen seriously. I will provide a relaxed place called home. Any other needs met will arise out of that.
