My Story:

When I was 18, I secretly bought a plane ticket to Ireland.

I worked at a few hostels around Europe, cafes, B&Bs, equestrian and activity retreats, sometimes stayed in peoples homes, ran away in the early hours from a few, drank a ton, danced with foreign boys, ate dessert 24/7, LIVED and then got addicted to the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

**Stayed with a lovely lady in Dublin at UCD which resulted in a lot of vodka, dancing and a tiger suit? before flying off to Spain the next morning!

**Also stayed with a lovely French girl in Oxford, UK. Beautiful city and great company!

Interests

This point in my life is about discovery. In seek of foreign cultures/lifestyles, cuisine, happiness, and anything else I am lucky enough to find!
I like dancing, laughing, and creating crazy stories. I want to have a story to tell at the end of the day, no matter how small!

"A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it." George Moore
