About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just be happy living. Right now I'm super good and though I dont whats next for me I feel no plan is needed!

ABOUT ME

Just back from an amazing year abroad in Canada. Going to live and work in Cork my hometown for a while and then move onto Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Live a fun life in a positive way! Do your own thing but dont enforce your philosophy on others. Never judge! We are all responsible for ourselves, its up to you to create joy in your own life. I am living right now to learn all the things I said once I wish I could do

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had two really amazing couchsurfing experiences in Montreal and Quebec. And very different; in one met a wonderful girl and we answered a lot of self doubts together; the other was half a party, half learning about quebec city through the nostalgia of another. Other than that, while sharing a flat with friends (living in a living room), met lots of couchsurfers who were happy to share a floor with me.

Interests

Love music and movies. Im a beginner on the Electric Bass, I love it, its my favourite sound. Enjoy cycling alot, swimming and drawing or painting. I also love eating, I dont smoke so I see it as the next best way to socialise and share.

Teach, Learn, Share

The best thing I can do right now is share a bit of Cork my hometown. I tell tourists there isnt one thing in particular to see but my god its fantastic to walk around. Its small and an extrememly artistic city for its size with a huge emphasis on festivals and live music. If you want to meet up Id love to show you around.
