Overview
About Me
I'm Irish and enjoy meeting new people and trying out new experiences.
I don't travel abroad a lot as it is usually with family in tow but love the sea and any other water.
Water and the outdoors are my passion. I own a digital marketing agency specializing in helping people and businesses sell on Amazon.
Growing up on a farm has given me a unique view on work ( there is always work to be done on a farm. 24/7) and I am happy to help out in any way I can with any host I stay with as work does not scare me!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet cool people and get to know a place through the eyes of the locals.
I know I can share some of the best itineraries for people who might want to visit my locality here in Ireland and expect that locals of other countries can do the same.
Life is about making connections and building relationships. We Irish have been doing this for centuries and are all over the world as a result. So i'm just carrying on the tradition ;)
