ABOUT ME

Vinnie Collins from Meath, Ireland I play hurling and football. Travelling to San Francisco for the summer with friends from home. Sure why not. Just finished my degree in Mechanical Engineering with renewable and sustainable energy. Very sporty but easy going and laid back.
Myself and two friends arrive at around 21.30 on the 23rd of May with basically nowhere to stay so a couch/floor would be lovely.

PHILOSOPHY

The optimist sees the glass as half full,
the pessimist sees the glass as half empty,
the engineer sees the glass being twice as big as it needs to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can cook and I'm very clean. I'm a bit of a neat freak so I'll gladly help clean up and cook while I'm staying somewhere. I'd describe myself as obliging so ask me to do something and I'll be happy to help

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never tried it officially yet but I've slept on floors and couches here after nights out and I'm still alive

Interests

Hurling, football (gaelic and soccer), squash, rugby, most sports really, running and going to the gym, reading,arsing around (if that makes any sense to you at all). Music, yeah I love music. Bit of an exercise freak, so general fitness oriented things

Why do I live my life? Outrageously profound question. I just want to travel and meet people and push myself in terms of physical and mental boundaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once did 4 cartwheels in a row. I'm kind of a big deal

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll be bringing a hurl or two over so anyone looking to learn a bit of hurling, I'd gladly go for a puck around or help you pick up a new sport. I'm good at maths and physics and that so anyone in need of a bit of help I wouldn't mind trying to help ya in that area.
