ABOUT ME

I am back in Belfast after spending a year in Canada, mostly living and working in St John's.
Its a great place and I can't wait to get back...

PHILOSOPHY

My friend tells me I am very Lao Tzu in my way of being.
I think he means laid back and que sera sera....I go with the flow mostly!

(He's more of a Confucius (or so he tells me))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have hosted lots of people, all were really good experiences and I have stayed friends with many, only had one negative experience but won't let that taint the wonders of this brilliant project !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking to a village in Chiang Mai and seeing the kids reactions when I gave them crayons and paper.
Flew to a copper mine (in a TINY plane) in Queensland to cook for a month... was in the co-pilots seat. Had to cook 30 steaks in one go.
Lived on a sheep shearing station in NSW and taught Irish...
See lots of amazing things everyday. Its about having the right perspective!
