ABOUT ME

In school, voted most likely to establish the CosmicLoveChildren's commune in Peru

Dedicated MaryJane enthusiast :)

Leonard Cohen's secret Muse

PHILOSOPHY

I love meeting new people, from all walks of life, learning about their background and culture, comparing and contrasting my own. I like debating different issues, even if the discussion gets a little heated, because you gain different perspectives on matters you might never have considered before. I want to learn something I didn't know yesterday everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spent many years, informally, couch surfing. Now I've a nice place of my own, with a massive couch, so tryin' to restore Karmic balance :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a few great people come stay with me, I've even made a life-long (i hope) friend who I met by hosting her and her sister a few years ago.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a movie geek. My favourite film of all time ever is *Harold and Maude*

I've been reading a lot of works by great Irish authors recently, particularly *Flann O'Brien*(Amazing) and Oscar Wilde's essays

Can't stop listening to The Roots :) I caught one of their drumsticks at a great Irish festival (Electric Picnic)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've many years experience working with autistic children. After two years working with one particular child with autism, who was mostly non-verbal (rarely spoke), my name became one of the few words she used, this may seem small, but had a massive impact on me and the direction I've taken since towards Social Care.

Something that left me awestruck... happened while travelling from Prague(C.R) to Slovenia. My friends and I were inter-railing through Europe(travelling by train), heading for the European Juggling festival, held in Slovenia that year. The over-night train stopped for ten minutes at a tiny, rural Austrian station. Three of us jumped at the chance for a quick smoke. Outside, a huge golden sun was starting to rise over a misty field of sunflowers, the sky was a gorgeous warm pink. Then we saw a deer jumping through the sunflowers. Better than fuckin' Disney, I swear
