About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Burning karma

ABOUT ME

I'm 35 years old, Irish, living in Dublin but traveling extensively this year for both work and pleasure. I love yoga, art, film and travel. For work I run a digital consultancy business, my passion is writing and filmmaking- I've made a bunch of movies if you Google me you'll find them!

PHILOSOPHY

live as if. Its harder than it sounds but it works for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Years ago, my counterpart and partner in crime-fighting, Lance Veto/a.k.a. Antonio Brunetti was raving about couchsurfing.com for months. Then he came to stay with me and listed my couch on couchsurfing without telling me. I wondered where all the nice people came from. I've hosted good people who became great friends since, and I've been to a lot of cs parties. I decided to take a break for a while a couple of years ago. Now things have settled down a bit, I thought I'd give it a try again and see how it goes. I've only ever had positive couchsurfing experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Anyone i've hosted in my apartment has significantly altered my life in some good way, which is what meeting people is all about, so that can't be bad. I think couchsurfing rocks.

Now years after I first joined, I've realised what a big part couchsurfing has played in my life. I thought I might open the door again to see what's behind it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

8 hours on the edge of the grand canyon watching the shapes shift was pretty cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

i've done a few video workshops in my time. and i run a 24 hour film festival that's quite a hoot. I've also worked on tonnes of new media projects. I've got a sixth sense for creative ideas and bringing them out in the open to bloom.
