I’m 33, Irish and travelling around Asia with my girlfriend Catherine (her profile, and our references: ). Have worked in homelessness support for several years, but am currently enjoying the freedom of having no work responsibilities for a little while.
Enjoy meeting new people, seeing new places and learning a little about different cultures.
Think most people would say Im very laid back, friendly, and sociable. I can generally get on with anybody really, as long as they are respectful of others.
Big sport and music fan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It’s a really nice concept, people connecting and showing kindness to each other without seeking profit. The modern world needs more of this!
It’s an interesting way to travel, you can learn a lot, meet people from different places and cultures, and glimpse authentic local life.
Will definitely become a host when I return to Ireland.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess working in and managing a homeless support centre for seven years. If you don’t know why - well you’ve obviously never been in one!
Also recently drove a tuk-tuk around Sri Lanka for a month. That was pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy a good conversation, particularly about culture, world events, music and sport. We shouldnt be afraid to share our views and hear those of others. None of us know everything...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully my friendly personality. I also have a lovely girlfriend who is with me wherever I go!
I enjoy a chat, a lot of people are keen to learn about Ireland and I can help a lot with that! I am happy to chill or explore, whatever, I’m a pretty low-maintenance guy. Not afraid to cook a meal or buy a beer!
