CURRENT MISSION

To conquer my fear of toast!

ABOUT ME

I never tend to like these boxes. I'm like an onion...I have many layers.

Born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I've been fortunate enough to see lots of the world but there is nowhere quite like home.

I'm energetic, always on time, funny, kind, intelligent (well, I think so), cultured and determined to make the most of my life.

Travelling is quite possibly the greatest thing in the world to me. Meeting new people, seeing incredible places and immersing yourself in another culture.

But, overall I like to think i'm just a pretty cool guy and hopefully whoever you are that's reading this shall agree!

PHILOSOPHY

"Dream as if you'll live forever, life as if you'll die today." - James Dean - This quote needs no explanation, I try to live my life my this maxim.

"Dressing is a way of life" - Yves Saint Laurent - Fashion is the ultimate form of expression, people shouldn't be afraid to express themselves.

"The entire sum of existence is the magic of being needed by just one person." - Vi Putnam - Love, Love, Love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Total CS virgin.

Just joined, unable to host currently but I would definately like to surf and anyone coming to my neck of the woods, I would gladly show them Belfast and beyond : )

Interests

Football dominates my life. Nothing can bring me that feeling of ecstasy and total elation before dropping me to the depths of depression and despair. I'm big into any sport though, i'll try anything once.

Travel all over Europe watching Northern Ireland and been to every home game since 2000.

Huge Manchester United and Crusaders fan also.

Sport is a massive part of my life, I am ever so slightly competitive!

I love working with children. Kids >>>>>> Us grown ups.

I have a huge passion for alcoholic beverages and girls. Usually there is a strong correlation between my interests in both.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working at an underprivleged camp in Wisconsin for kids from Milwaukee and Chicago in 08' for the summer.

It changed my life.

I grew and learnt so much about myself and going camping with these kids, sleeping under the stars, having sunset hikes, cooking 'Mountain Mac and Cheese' and seeing them experience something like this for the first time was so special.

Knowing that in some way I touched the lives of these children will stay with me forever, I left a little bit of my heart there forever.
