Irish moustache man on a quest to taste all the food

26 year old from Dublin, Ireland. I have been living in Vancouver, Canada for the last 3 years.
Recently quit my job as a Mechanic at BMW to travel Latin America for as long as I can.
Hoping to get immersed in the different cultures.
Sociable and positive. Looking to make the most out of my time and meet amazing people!
Trying to learn Spanish. I have done 3 weeks lessons in Guatemala but I still have a long way to go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet locals and backpackers alike as I travel. Meeting locals and really getting to see the culture. Hoping to improve my Spanish also. Look forward to returning the favour. Be it in Ireland or Canada!

Interests

Anything in the mountains: hiking, snowboarding and camping whenever I can. I try to find the balance between outdoor activities and socializing. Have big love for music and have met so many great friends through going to shows and festivals. Always interested in trying new things, especially food and drinks. Looking for adventure wherever I go

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing that comes to mind is: Watching a pod of 7 Orca whales hunting a porpoise in the wild. Off the coast of Canada in the Salish sea. Incredibly intelligent mammals. Watching the baby orca celebrate afterwards was definitely amazing!

Climbing Volcan Acatenango and watching Volcan Fuego erupt all night is at the top of the list too!
