Sobre mí

I am making my way to Australia to visit my brother. He has lived there for 7 years and I have always wanted to visit, and now is my chance, and I am touring Asia along the way there!

I was born and raised in Coleraine, N Ireland, and always had a desire to travel. When the time came to leave school, I travelled alone to Uganda for 5 months to spend time volunteering in schools, teaching English, and gaining work experience in the National Theatre. This trip left a mark and I returned in 2012 for a month, and again in 2017 when I moved there for work. Sadly this wasn't to be as the organisation closed down and I returned home to work on the family business. But I'm jumping ahead.

When I returned from Uganda the first time, I then started University. I studied in England and was actively involved in numerous societies, and loved engaging with international students. I was even on the committee of the African Caribbean Society! In my long student summer breaks I took opportunities to travel when possible, but never quite had the budget to do what I dreamed of.

When I got a grown-up job in Glasgow, Scotland, I had a flat to myself and so I opened my spare room on Airbnb to help with the bills. Had I known about this site by then, I would have used it, as the room was often available.

I hope this all goes some way of showing that I am an outgoing and friendly person who loves meeting new people, new experiences, new cultures, and I am very hospitable too!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I believe in having an open home, and shared experiences. The most intimate and enjoyable interactions usually take place when sharing a home or sharing a meal. I am new to this site, but I was a host on Airbnb for almost 2 years when I lived in Scotland, and it was an incredible experience. I hadn't known about couchsurfing and I wish I did, because I could afford rent in my flat without charging for guests.. I charged very minimally to attract backbackers and budget travellers, because I hoped that when my turn came to travel that I could also find cheap place to crash for a night, and get to meet the locals. I hope that now my turn has come, that I can share in the joys of all the world has to offer.

Música, películas y libros

I love most music - but anything with good rhythm! I grew up on rock, but have recently been enjoying afrobeats, latin-fusion and I do enjoy some rnb and soul music.
I like action, adventure and comedy films, but I will gladly watch any film (except Horror).
I like reading true, inspiring stories, particularly adventure stories, and I also like fantasy novels.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I'm building a house in memory of my late father in rural Uganda, for my adopted "grandfather" to live in, along with other elderly people who don't have a family to care for them. This was funded by generous donations from friends and family, and I am excited to return to Uganda to see this home when it is finished.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I love learning new things about cultures, people and I like sharing some of my own culture with others!
I can teach you how to make a cooking stove from a drinks can!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I am a reasonably good cook, but I am also great at washing the dishes! I am able to share stories and songs from my home (Ireland), and share stories from my time living in Uganda. I am an easy person to talk to, and I hope I am an easy person to live with!
