CURRENT MISSION

To meet as many people as possible without getting stabbed

ABOUT ME

I'm a twenty-something year old that is currently seeing as much of this world as possible before the credit card stops working. I hate getting my iPod stolen on my first day of backpacking. I've already learnt, laughed, and met more people in the last two months backpacking than any other time in my life, and I think I might never stop travelling if that pattern continues :)

PHILOSOPHY

As cliche as it sounds, life is freakin' ridiculously short. I want to spend as much time as I can without a mortgage, without a nine-to-five job, without pants, but with as many experiences as possible so I can have no regrets when I'm an old and senile man. I want to one day be that grandpa that never has to repeat a story to his family because he's run out of tales.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've just started at the advice from some other backpackers I've met in the hostels. So hopefully I can crash on some couches, meet some new people, then return the favour when I get back home!

Interests

Music. That's the be all and end all of what I love most. Currently obsessed with football (the European kind, not the Australian kind). More than anything though, it's being able to sit back with a beer in my hand, swap stories with people I've never met before, and laugh louder than I ever thought possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Radiohead, Muse, The White Stripes, Fleet Foxes, The Strokes, Kasabian, Tame Impala, The Wombats, Two Door Cinema Club. And the oldies like Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Velvet Underground. And the kind-of-but-not-really-oldies like Nirvana.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing thing I've done was having the balls to quit my job and start this adventure which I never hope ends. Plus, having my first proper Irish pint of Guinness was unforgettable! Skinny dipping in the Loch Ness at three in the morning was rather, er... 'interesting' too!
