Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I believe that Couchsurfing is a great way to meet new people from different cultures and experience new places from the perspective of a local rather than a tourist.

As fun as hostels are, I find that whenever I stay in them I'm only ever surrounded by other travellers who are also new to the area, and I just feel that Couchsurfing would provide a much more unique experience that I can learn and grow from.

Musica, film e libri

I've always had a huge interest in music that drifts between numerous genres on a daily (or even hourly) basis. Everything from hip hop and jazz to traditional Irish music (I'm also half Irish - top o' the morning te ye), rock, EDM and blues. Also a huge fan of traditional latin folk music and have recently discovered the wonderful voice and rhythms of Toto La Momposina.

As for books, I love to read and always make sure that my kindle is full of new stuff before I set off on my travels. Last five books read include: IT - Stephen King; Shame - Salman Rushdie; Captain Corelli's Mandolin - Louis de Bernieres; The Book of English Magic - Phillip Carr-Gomm & White Teeth - Zadie Smith.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Last year I worked for two months as a volunteer chef in a Buddhist Monastery in Dharamsala, India (home to the Dalai Lama and many exiled Tibeten monks). Prior to this, I had zero experience as a chef but managed to plan, order, prepare and cook three vegetarian meals for around 40 people every single day starting from 5.30am and finishing at 6pm. It was a lot of hard work but highly rewarding and a great experience that I'd be happy to tell you about should you see fit to invite me into your home :)

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

Many stories & tales ... such as the one where I almost got knocked off the side of a mountain by a donkey.
A great sense of humour (I hope).
A big heart.
Warm food.
