About Me

My name is Malachy (Mal-a-key) but you can call me Mal.

I'm a professional musician travelling around the world busking and gigging.

Music is a huge part of my life, it's given me the opportunity to travel see the world from a very unique angle.

When not on the road I love to surf, for me it's meditation, fun and exercise all wrapped up in one. When in Australia I travel with my Dog in my van all around the place. Unfortunately when I'm in the European summer he can't travel with me :(.
Every euro summer I busk around from Dublin to Copenhagen and everywhere in between.

I've been meaning to try couch surfing for a long time. It's what I've been doin informally the past Three years. I drive a nice little Ford Transit that I park in people's driveway, use their shower and play them tunes 🚐

Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

No couch required! My bed is on wheels 🚐🌞
I'm on Couchsurfing to find hosts with nice driveways/street parking, showers and possibly to charge my busking batteries. Also to meet your dog 🐶.

Interests

Music! Playing guitar and singing on the streets of the world.
Surfing the wonderful waves of the world!
My beautiful dog Sid!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music, honourable mentions include Jack Johnson, John butler, RATM, dirty heads, Ben Howard.

I listen to a lot of books, over a 1000 hours worth on my audible account! Mostly nonfiction, I always find myself the most interested in anything to do with the human condition and/or psychology

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surfed Nazaré in Portugal. Google it, pretty special place!

Teach, Learn, Share

So much to share, so much more to learn!
I love life so much, I love discussion, I love different angles, different opinions different perspectives.
Busking is a catalyst for life lessons, you can feel like a rockstar one day and the. Have the universe pulverise you the next. Lots of life experience!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Coffee, story time and tunes. Not necessarily in that order
