About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to explore, be shocked and inspired.

ABOUT ME

I am a curious open minded 25 year old Irish guy who loves people. I'm really interested in getting know new people, cultures and places.

Cooking, travelling, sport and current affairs are my thing and I'm just happy to be somewhere new.

I am up for trying anything!

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy.

If you're not making mistakes, you're not learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in North Western Xinjiang Province in China with an Uyghur family! Incredible place- all about sights, sounds, smells and that air of tension & apprehension.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have with me a nice bottle of Irish 'Single Pot Still' Whiskey I'd love to share with my hosts!

Everything I know about China. Whether it be historical, political, anecdotal, my own experiences, or travelguiding, I can talk about China!

I can also cook!

Since I am a political scientist I can share my views of current affairs or of my beliefs or how I believe the world works!
