About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go to grenoble, learn french, finish my course and travel for at least a year. Apart from that hmm... spread happiness troughout the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm 23 years oId and I think if you asked my friends they would say i'm funny, creative, wild, that I work a lot and like to party.

I am bilingual from my parents ( Irish, German) but have always lived in Portugal. So I'm fluent in Portuguese too.

My main occupation at the moment is to be a Video-Jammer (VJ) in a sound system called the SoundClowns. We play world music, wear crazy clothes, dance laugh and have fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first and only couch surfing was in France. My host had to work a lot during the day but we had great fun in the evening. Playing music, cooking and laughing. Since then he has been over to Portugal twice and we have remained great friends.

Interests

A part from that I am interested in sustainability, community and arts. I work on and off in my dad's Irish Pub in Lisbon.

I also like sports a lot: Skateboarding, surfing, diving, bike, whatever!
Nature is my other passion, I care for the planet a lot and try to focus on sustainability.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I crossed the Atlantic on a racing catamaran Sailing boat. We sailed from Lisboa to Antigua in the Caribean. It was one of the best experiences in my life. The sea, the dolphins, the stars PEACE!

Scuba diving was also one of my favorites. The sense of no gravity, another world. Sky diving in slow motion. :D

Other than that I don't know... we live amazing moments every day! :)
