CURRENT MISSION

Get better

ABOUT ME

Please note that I am travelling at the moment and will not be able to host.

I'm easy to get on with, relaxed but motivated, reasonably intelligent and enjoy people, learning about different cultures and I like to party.

PHILOSOPHY

get out there and do it. others won't but you should and I will.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

***PLEASE NOTE***ACHTUNG***ATENTION***¡ATENTION!*** We're (my girlfriend and I) are vegan so we expect guests to respect that and not have meat in the house, by all means eat meat when you are not in the house, we don't care about that. You can have dairy in the house if you like (milk, cheese, egg..)

We have a very small room with a bed in it. It's a single bed so if you're a couple, that's ok as long as you don't mind sharing a small bed in a small room. It is really a very small room. There's enough space to put down a bed, some shelves and open the door. That's about it!

Very bike-friendly household :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I coach-surfed in Istanbul and have hosted some lovely people too in Dublin :O)

Interests

I have a degree in marine science, and a masters in Biodiversity and Conservation. I am a serious amature photographer with a real soft spot for old film cameras, holgas and crossprocessing. I love to cycle and build bicycles. Sailing is a massive love of mine too. I read books, watch films, love sushi and all the other things normal people do. I love to party but I also like to take it easy. I play guitar, bass and double bass and mandolin. listen to so many genres of music. Swimming, skinny dipping, SCUBA diving. Good conversation, good wine, crap wine. creative people. molecular evloution. sculpture. trekking. partying. driving fast. mountain biking. making my heart race. creating. new experiences. friends. science.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i sailed by the italian volcanic island of Stromboli at night and watched lava explode out of the side of the volcano on the island while dolphins swam in front of us.

sailed the med for 2 and a half months.

drove across canada into alaska in a 1988 Chevy Astro painted in the A-team colours.

Rode a ferris wheel in Guatemala - terrifying.

lots of stories but not for here..

Teach, Learn, Share

i'm pretty good with film photography and old cameras. I can generally get tricky shots to work, especially with digital. So maybe i could help with you holiday snaps.

Im no expert but I'm not too bad!
