ABOUT ME

Originally from Boston, Massachusetts USA and moved to Galway, Ireland in 2010 to travel and experience life to the fullest. Looking to travel and see as much as I can while over here. Hoping to hit every E.U. country. =)

I love culture. Any kind of culture fascinates me and I try to immerse myself in it as much as possible. I love the food, the dancing, the music, the people, the language, the architecture, and pretty much any other aspect you can think of that will help someone understand and appreciate a different culture. It is a beautiful thing to me to be able to learn from other people and other ways of life. We live in a phenomenally diverse world and I think its a wonderful thing to be able to experience some of that diversity.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others the way that you would like to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With a hectic work schedule it is difficult for me to host, however I always try to meet up and show people around the city if I'm able to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive stayed with some great people in Zurich, Switzerland and in Munich, Germany. They were fantastic hosts and were kind enough to take me out in their cities and show me around which was phenomenal.

I have been really blessed so far with meeting some great people. One event in particular was something I never thought I would do, and that was crawling through the rafters of a bar in Zurich, Switzerland and drinking a glass of wine upside down. LOL It sounds crazy but it was so much fun!

Interests

I'm big into photography and you can see some of my work on my website: http://www.redbubble.com/people/AcePhotography

I am a very active person and love to exercise and keep myself healthy. I'm a big sports fan as well, both playing and watching. You can find me in the gym 6 days a week and always eating healthy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to São Miguel, Açores, Portugal in February 2010 to do a religious pilgrimage. It was a 175 mile (281 km) walk around the circumference of the island, stopping in almost every town and every church on the island to pray for the villagers. It was a very humbling and eye opening experience.

Running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain

I also ran with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain at the San Fermin festival which was one of the most outrageous and amazing experiences I've ever had. =)
