Hi I`m Barry. I`m grew up in the Cork countryside in Ireland, but now I`m living in Perth since June 2019! I like to have fun and see some of the world. I`m working FIFO as a Senior Mine Geologist, so I am outside in the mountains and lakes everyday. Currently I'm working in a gold mine. My job is very busy and I`ve a big team that I have to look after.
I like to drink and hike. I love sport and playing sport too! I lived in Missoula in the state of Montana in the USA for a year of study abroad. It was a great cultural experience!
I enjoy eating in all the nice restaurants in Perth CBD with nice wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends and a good way to travel in other countries and find out about places tourists don`t know about.

Interests

Sports, socialising, outdoors, local history, geology, beer! My job as a geologist involves studying the mountains and streams of Australia and taking samples. So I know a lot of beautiful, secluded spots around the country.
