Dia duit.....thats Irish for hello!

I am a musician living in Abu Dhabi. I love getting to know people and hearing about their lives and interests.

I love to tell stories (scealta) about people in my life. You have been pre warned!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I read the book 1000 days of spring by Tomislav Perko a Croatian couch surfer. It really opened my eyes to the possibilities of meeting new people and getting immediately emersed into their culture.

Interests

Singing and playing guitar is my passion. I love to sing at parties (Coisir) , in pubs or even just with my family (mo chlann). I try and teach guitar to anyone willing.

I also love the outdoors and sports (watching or playing) I have played gaelic (Irish football) and soccer all my life.

I love YouTube, TV and movies also!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I toured Thailand with my guitar for 2 months in 2014. Playing on 4 different islands singing in pubs and on the beach. It was great playing music for free buckets! I hope to top that one day!

Teach, Learn, Share
