CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm 22, from Dublin, Ireland. I studied psychology in Trinity College, Dublin. After graduating I taught English in China for about ten months before traveling in South East Asia. I'm back in Ireland now.

If I had to describe myself I'd say I'm preternaturally lazy, so when I do get out of bed/off the couch I like to make the most of it by exploring new places and perhaps imbibing copious amounts of alcohol if the occasion calls for it.

PHILOSOPHY

"He who speaks in maxims...can sound wise."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have a couch available for surfing. Hang out with people I meet on couchsurfing. Planning to surf some couches soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have stayed on a couple of couches. Have shown some surfers around Xiamen. Have attended some events set up by Xiamen couchsurfers group.

Interests

I really enjoy reading. I mostly read books but also enjoy reading the warnings on cigarette packs and personal ads in local publications (particularly 'Ireland's Own).
I also like music. I often listen to it. I like a wide variety of styles, from hardcore punk rock all the way to regular punk rock.
The only sport I take any deep interest in is football. I support Fulham Football Club and have done ever since I first decided to.
I also like traveling and whatnot, you know seeing different things and shit?
