About Me

CURRENT MISSION

i just want to travel and meet new people, see new things, and learn about new culture i basically want to have many adventures the crazier the better. even at home i want as many people visiting as possible then it forces me to do new things at home

ABOUT ME

i am 25 years old, i live with my brother andy, and my cousin jamie. we have two dogs and a cat(andy also has a site up on couchsurfing). i have lived in queens most of my life when i was younger we would split time between queens and ireland but i haven't been back home for the last 3 plus years. i love to travel and don't do nearly enough of it. i have been to ireland, austria, switzerland, canada, mexico and several states in the US. the majority of my trips lately have been snowboard related, i went to lake tahoe, then vail(where we got the craziest snow ever about 3 ft of the lightest pow ever sick) then last year was switzerland and austria which was out of this world.
