About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm Irish, work with computers and electronics. However I've spent the last few years travelling in Asia, especially India. I'm a good cook but vegetarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nice way to meet people now I've got a big enough place.

Music, Movies, and Books

Don't care about music. Think the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho was impactful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed around the arctic.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not Finnish, I'm a blowin from Ireland. My apartment is 2km from the center of Oulu. I have a sleep sofa in the living room, which is more an electronics lab.

Here are a few house rules:

1: No shoes when inside.

2: Please don't cook meat or fish. You won't be frisked for sausages when you arrive

3: Surfers with good vegetarian or vegan cooking skills are welcome to do so.

4: Don't touch the electronics. My prototype time machine is very sensitive.

5: Surfers with mechanical or electronic skills might be put to work on the time machine.

6: I'm very sensitive to noise, and dislike most music. If playing music is essential to you, this is not the place for you.

7: Extreme garbage separation is practiced.

8: I'm very pet friendly. If you're travelling with an animal I'm probably going to be enthusiastic
