Solo traveller looking to explore and always chasing something though not sure what it is...

I currently live in Belfast and work as a Civil Servant in the area of Good Relations & Inclusion.
I'm big into sport, especially football. Love music, wide taste but especially contemporary r&b, anything live in concert is appreciated.

I love challenging myself. I've done 4 marathons over the last few years and I am taking part in a 90 mile cycle soon.

I've done a lot of travelling but still have so much more to see...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I only started hosting this year. I want to meet people, build connections, learn about your culture and hear about your experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first surfing experience was summer 2016 at the Euro's in France, I stayed with a host in Lyon.

As part of my previous job as a football coach in the USA and Canada, I moved to a new host family every week. Some provided me a room and others just a sofa; but id happily take the floor! A roof over my head was all I needed and I really appreciated the generosity those families showed me.

During the spring and Autumn from 2014-2016, I lived and worked in Wisconsin, USA. I coached soccer and stayed with a family in a small city called Sun Prairie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completed the Belfast Marathon with only a months training.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could show you how to play Gaelic football, a traditional Irish sport!

I’m a pretty open person and enjoy discussing and debating many different things in life.

I am trying to learn French so some practice would be great!
History in general really interests me especially the World Wars.
We could do some cooking or baking together.
Happy to give you a tour around Belfast if I have time.
