A laid-back, friendly person who is not long into a 2 year trip around the world with my other half, Bill. I am only new to Couchsurfing. I had my first Couchsurfing experience in Kyrgyzstan last October (2015) and I've never looked back since!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends and connections all around the world, and to learn about different cultures in way that you can't get from a guide book.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all sorts of music, so I couldn't possibly pick a favourite!

Books: Midnight's Children, Pride and Prejudice and anything by Irish author Joseph O'Connor.

Films: The Silence of The Lambs and anything by Stanley Kubrick.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a summer volunteering in Tanzania.

Tried hitchhiking from Yangshuo in China to Hong Kong. Ended up stranded in some city I didn't know the name of in the pouring rain and with no money to get out. Went to the police for help and got put up in a four star hotel for the night, for free!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge of Irish language and culture. I can also share knowledge on any of my interests listed above. And I'm a good cook! I can try my hand at anything 😊.
