I am Patrick, half-Irish, half-French, living in Dublin. I am currently involved in a few start-ups, and have a background in genetics. I have always loved travelling (going to France in the summers) and enjoy meeting people from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am working on a start-up and sometimes need to travel to different cities for conferences. Couch-surfing is great to get to explore the city in my spare time, meet locals and have a good time! I am a conversationalist who really enjoys discussing politics, music (I play the piano and guitar) and slack-lining.
I also make a mean breakfast involving loads of avocados and will happily share this with you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I came up with the term cyber-chondriac (as in: I thought of it, then went to google, and look at that... it already exists....).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you how to make the best vinaigrette you'll have in your life. If you have a guitar, I will happily provide some entertainment. Also, your TV/youtube search will be expanded immensily for I have some pretty good recommendations for laughs and interesting channels. If you are into boardgames: I am your guy!
