Hi, I'm Stephen from Ireland.
I'm a qualified Mechanical Engineer but have worked at all sorts; mechanic, banker, kitchen work, courier, painter.
I love the outdoors and hike in the mountains as often as the Irish weather allows. I have walked 2 routes of the "Camino de Santiago" and enjoy meeting new people from all walks of life. I spent the last year in New Zealand traveling with the use of HelpX and made some life-long friends doing so.
I like playing music, interested in anything involving fitness/nutrition/well being, watching movies/anime and having fun :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently doing farmwork for my 2nd year visa and want to do some fun things while I'm on the sunny coast!

• hiking
