I'm half-Irish and an avid traveller, soon to visit America for the first time. I'll be going all over from Austin, Texas to Vegas so I need some travel tips and hopefully a few couches to surf! I can also host here in London before I go.

In terms of me, I live in a shared flat near Clapham, one of the coolest parts of London, full of hipsters, students, rooftop bars, restaurants from everywhere, gyms and festivals. There's a huge park in the centre where everyone hangs out and plays volleyball or goes on the lake in the summer and we're just 20 minutes away from central London!

I work in science PR, which means I write articles for national newspapers, get scientists on TV and meet a few famous faces, and get alot of free champagne.

In my spare time, I'm a decent squash/tennis player, and beach and dancefloor reviewer lol

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Here to meet new travelling buddies for my coming trips. I'm going to travelling around the States next year, so I'm especially keen to meet any American surfers.

I can offer you a couch in the best location in London, a great day out and an even greater night out!

Interests

I love animals. creative writing, philosophy, films, tennis, and travelling (obviously).

I'm half Irish which entails being able to party until I'm the last man standing (or falling,) having a real zest for life, a risque sense of humour, and being a bit too cheeky!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's many. Hang gliding over Rio De Janeiro, break-dancing on stage in my pants in front of 1000 pub-crawlers at a Thailand pub crawl, acting in theatre.
