About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a happy go lucky 25 year old interested in the arts, music, reading, travelling and generally trying out new things.Work quite a lot these days in both the theatre and film industries. Hopefully moving to Canada in the not so distant future.

PHILOSOPHY

To live, experience and grow from these experiences. I believe in respect for everyone no matter what, creed ethnicity or sexual preference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think couch surfing is a great way of meeting new people and sharing experiences. At the moment I reside in Northern Ireland and I think it is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to visit to get to see the place from a non touristy perspective.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well unfortunately I haven't been on this in quite a while. However I have stayed on manys a couch in different cities around Ireland. Meeting random people who have invited me back to stay on their couch after a few drinks. I think its a great way to meet people and friends

Interests

Socialising, Reading, Poetry, The history of our messed up little Island. The arts, incorporating: theatre, opera, music and fine art. Travel, films, hiking, rugby, football, Gaelic Games (mostly hurling) and a recent interest in learning how to surf... I'm sure there are more I just can't think of them at the moment
