About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be yourself. Do whatever you want. But always respect others!

ABOUT ME

Travelled a bit when I was slightly younger. Now, things have changed a little but we still try to get away as much as possible. We live in a small town in the south of Ireland. In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym, surfing and meeting friends. I love going to the movies and watching a good football game (I am a big Real Madrid fan myself)

PHILOSOPHY

I am quite laid back and open minded. I believe in "feel free to do whatever you want but always respecting others". Respect is my motto, no matter other people's race, religion, age, gender etc. We should all feel free to help others and be loved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people and showing them around or hosting them in the house. I certainly talk about CS to others. I think it's amagnificent initiative!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have had several people with us so far. It was great. We always have a great time driving around the area, going to beaches and ancient sites. Also going to the pub for a traditional session as well. Great experience and a fantastic way to make new friends.
Surfed in Chile and Argentina. We had a great time. We made good friends over there.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love most movies. I love the experience of watching movies and I have a good collection of DVDs. With regards to music I am extremely ecclectic. I like rock, classical, opera, rap, pop, 70s, 80s, 90s. There is always a song for a particular time and mood.
My favourite song writer is cuban Silvio Rodriguez. I love his songs.
I also love Spanish poet Miguel Hernandez. I have never read more beautiful poetry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a couple of tandem parachute jumps a few years ago. Was terrified on the first one (had a phobia of high places) so I had to take a second one to enjoy it.
