Travelling musician from Wexford, Ireland.

I play music with my brother, we call ourselves The Ocelots!

We travel together, and most of our references are on his profile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I think despite the destructive quality of most social technology, this site has kept a lot of its ethos and beauty. I have been an active couchsurfer sharing my brothers profile, and each experience has been so special.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started out on a journey after school traveling and playing music, and haven’t stopped!
Had a Star Wars lightsaber duel in a church and recorded an EP in cow-barn we converted to a studio in a small countryside house in Blatusa, Croatia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Silliness and laughter most importantly, but also the ability to discuss anything at all, and to listen. Porridge and Omelettes. Amateur piano playing of Amelie soundtrack. To throw sharp objects in direction of oasis covers. Stränge reasons why I’m vegetarian.
