About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pay it forward! You never know when you might really make a huge difference in someones life :)

ABOUT ME

I'm fun and Irish... and really tall!.... and I love the color green, and tasty food, and laughing. Oh,and music!! Oh the music!! You could say I'm a very positive and energetic person who has a little complex about the energizer bunny being my real father haha.

PHILOSOPHY

Pay it forward! I have encountered such amazingly generous people throughout, my life and endevour to help others in a similar way. Whether through random encounters or day to day trivial meetings I believe that you should be open to every opportunity that presents itself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had so many experiences over the past few years but I cant remember my account info and have had to start another one :( But I like to look at the positives and this has reinvigorated my love for couchsurfig and pushed me to be more proactive. Im really keen to get back into the adventures ;)
Ive couchsurfed in several countries and I am trying to live up to some of the best hosts Ive stayed with.

Interests

Playing guitar (self confessed guitaraholic) and finding new music and artists especially through live gigs. Throw some travelling/hitchhiking/backpacking into the mix and im sold haha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking throughout Asia and along the way meeting so many great people along the way.... that and getting to work as an Assistant Food Stylist on an ad for Pakastani television while hitchhiking in Thailand.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a roof and local insight as well as a laugh or two :-) I love to meet new people and hear new stories. I have a nice little place 30 seconds from Gwangali beach in Gwangan, Busan. There is a great ex-pat community I can also offer access to. As well as a good working knowledge of the area from temples to the best places to eat. I love to laugh and learn new things. But most of all just helping out a fellow traveler is its own reward.
