CURRENT MISSION

To travel about, writing and making drawings of my experiences

ABOUT ME

I work in art and film and love meeting people doing the same. I love talking hours away about everything and anything. I am amused by Anything. I have to laugh a lot in a day (not mental). I am friendly and helpful. I can be shy but I try not to let it get in the way of having fun. I am always eager to help when I am a guest. I get very inspired when I travel. I write and draw little pictures so you may be happy to be included in some artwork! I have a blog that I update with work here http://grainnemchale.blogspot.com/

PHILOSOPHY

You can do anything you want to do as long as it doesn't interfere with someone else's free will. I am only happy when i am learning and, well, you can't not learn anything in a day so i guess you could say i am happy being awake. I'm also very sardonic - have to explain that in case anyone reading thinks I have disappeared up my own arse. But I mean well so it doesn't matter :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can cook, clean and be most helpful in peoples homes. I also know how to give people their space and am happy to listen if someone had a bad day :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not couch-surfed yet but some of my friends do it and have great experiences. I look forward to meeting new people and making friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Discovering I could make films. Realizing and respecting the fact that everyone is the center of their own universe!

Teach, Learn, Share

Discussing anything someone wants to talk about really. I'm happen to listen. I like to talk about pretty much anything as long as it's interesting and educational. I don't enjoy talking politics, science, religion or current events because I don't like all the negativity and aggression involved. They are not topics I naturally gravitate towards anyway because they tend to breed arguments - they are personal in the wrong way and you never know who you are going to offend. I want to talk about interesting things that are unusual/surreal/funny and make people laugh. I really like to get to know someone's interests and discuss those things. I like to make a creative, playful atmosphere with a conversation. I'm Irish, I basically want to have the craic!
