CURRENT MISSION

To explore Hawaii. I'm staying in Honolulu for a bit over two months.

And then it's back to the Netherlands and back to my PhD!

ABOUT ME

Ocean scientist from Ireland. I've done a lot of couchsurfing in the past and I love getting to see a place through local eyes.

PHILOSOPHY

Look after yourself and your pals. Then, try to do what you can for everything else.

Oh yeah. Trans rights are human rights!

Interests

I pick up new interests all the time! Started woodcarving and longboarding last year. And restarted Spanish classes. Let's see what 2023 brings but I hope there are many adventures. Coming from a rainy island I usually don't mind the weather so much for outdoor activities.

I know you are thinking now that I am such a cool guy but am not always like that. I have a nerdy side too. :P

Moments I enjoy:
- losing track of time when you're hanging out with a really good friend
- coming home after a hike
- watching the rain and the clouds while reading a good novel
- dancing
- working out a new recipe
- realising you just met someone of importance to your life

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: anything really but a lot of cumbia and hip hop right now
Books: mostly scifi or nonfiction. Reading bell hooks and Premee Mohamed right now.
Movies: I am one of those A24 fans. :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the south Patagonian Ice Field.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: how to make bounty bars. Used to be an English teacher so that can be useful for other travellers...
Learn: lots of things but on this trip about Hawaii.
Share: play music together, look at stars, skateboard...
