Overview
About Me
I LOVE traveling and now enjoying hosting too. I used to hitchhike a lot when I was younger. I’m Irish, gay; polite, quiet , adventurous, open minded, curious. You be who and what you are. We are all unique.

I get many requests, especially in summer. I cannot accept them all. It’s not personal if I don’t accept you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Only one....
21 days on The trans Mongolian express. Or camping in Namibia, or a train journey down the west coast of the USA, or hitch hiking around France. Had a period in my life when I was very religious. A three week trip though Turkey. Watching ships sail through the Panama Canal. Or walking with young lions in Zambia- actually maybe the last one was the best. Read great books. Sang in a choir with a full orchestra accompanying us. Stayed at a clothing optional resort. Met the founder of the Taize community of monks. Heard Michelle Obama speak at a conference in Qatar. Walked to machu pichu. Visited angkor wat.
Teach, Learn, Share
Netflix, travel stories, my house, naturism / nudism , the story of Ireland. Philosophical discussions, God ( is there?) politics, climate change . Pots and pots of tea. We can go for a run together or a walk. Tenor in a choir! I love to give or receive Massage. Card games.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A comfortable sleep, shower and breakfast. A private garden for sunbathing when the sun shines( here’s hoping!). My house which is on the country about 10 kms from cork city and 7kms from the famous Blarney Stone. I am also 90 minutes from Killarney. I can collect you in my car from the city. Massage: I have a table.
