CURRENT MISSION

Settle in my new home, build new friendships and solidify old ones but most of all to have fun doing it!

ABOUT ME

I grew up a wild (some might say feral!) child in the countryside in Ireland. School and then to uni to do engineering ( it got difficult so I left ) and then to the otherside of the globe to fly tin-cans.

Amazingly someone gave me a job and I'm afraid that I've chased my job ( and my tail ) through 15 addresses and lived in 5 countries in the past 5 years. In London now and settled down a little recently ( I know "boooorrringg" i hear you shout!).

Love to meet new and different people. I can claim to excel at nothing but sit firmly in the "will improve with practice" in most categories. In other words I claim to know a little about everything :) I live old pubs, I play guitar and football occasionally as well.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience new places and things but most of all people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I'm spending most of my spare time still exploring London. Great city with loads to see. I also get to spend a quite few days a month in far flung European cities. As a relative beginner to all this I'd love to maybe meetup for coffee( or tea! ) and take my couch-surfing from there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced to couch surfing by my friend Alan who lives in France. I recently visited him and his flatmates and spent a week on the sofa. I had the privilege of overlapping some people who had surfed there the previous weekend. We had a fantastic time. More laughs than can be counted and made friends we could have never encountered in other enviroments.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Delivered a newborn calf(or two!)

Teach, Learn, Share

People who are keen to chat discuss debate but not argue, try new stuff and maintain a hint of madness and unpredictability! On a slightly more real note. I'd like to ski better, and understand other peoples jobs better.
