I grew up in Ireland, but have lived and studied in Germany for 10 years, with some breaks in Norway, Scotland and Spain in between.

I love to travel and meet new people.

I enjoy outdoor sports such as kayaking, cycling, hiking.

Came back from a year-long trip around Southeast Asia-New Zealand and Japan two years ago. Next trip is taking the bike up to Iceland this June!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To meet other travellers or people who are new to a city.
To meet locals who can tell me interesting stories and give an insiders view to their country.
To make travellers feel welcome in whereever it is I'm living at any giving time, and help them get their bearings in a new place.
