ABOUT ME

I am 26 years old and from Dublin, Ireland. I first came to Krakow about 2 years ago and really loved the city. Therefore, I decided to come back here to live for a while. So, I gave up my job as a lawyer and enrolled in an American LL.M. in Krakow. That's right, I'm Irish, studying an American law degree in Poland :) ...

I enjoy travelling. Recently, I have visited Stockholm, Copenhagen and Berlin. Now that I'm in Krakow, I hope to utilise the opportunity to get away more often. Unfortunately, my course is a lot more work than I had originally anticipated, so I won't always have my couch available, but will try to assist where possible.

PHILOSOPHY

I like talking philosophy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Obviously, if you are traveling to Krakow, I would be delighted to make my couch available. In the event that my couch is not available, then I would be happy with the opportunity to show visitors around my city and join them for drinks/food/entertainment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the pleasure of meeting some great people through this couchsurfing project.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to the outdoor baths in Budapest in January when it's freezing. But, the water is warm. Mist and vapour rises about 3 feet above the level of the water. And where water overflows from the pool, it turns to ice. And you get in, and it's nice and hot. And around the pool, there are people playing chess. And it's in the courtyard of an amazing beautiful old building with statues overlooking the pool and water fountains everywhere.

I think this is about the most amazing thing so far, but I hope there will be other contenders.

Teach, Learn, Share

If somebody can try to help me learn Polish/Russian I would be very grateful. I can obviously try to help you improve your English.
