I am a 28 year old male who is originally from Ireland but has spent a big part of his life living in Belgium and Scotland. I am just fresh out of finishing a PhD at the University of Dundee and I am looking to explore the world before I settle down and get a job. I am fairly sporty, I recently got big into CrossFit which I am loving at the minute. However I also play Rugby and Hurling (an Irish sport). I love a bit of live music and a good sing song every now and again. I can just about play the guitar although I am a little out of practice at the minute. I am always up for an adventure and I love discovering new experiences with different cultures in different places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see as much of the world as I can after finishing my PhD and befor I settle down!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a large variety of music and I am always keen to listen to knew bands etc. but I would have to say that my favourite genres are probably Indie rock and traditional folk music...

In terms of books I am a big fan of Fantasy novels and I also love a bit of Sci-fi too. Outside of that I basically just rely on recommendations from friends of interesting Biography etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been luck enough to have been able to do a good bit of travelling and I have been to some places that I have considered to be amazing and met some great people but I suppose these are more personal amazing things. Some thing that others mite find "amazing"... I once tried to do stand up comedy which I found fun and hopefully the audience did too! (you can find me on youtube "Conor Smyth - Acronyms Are My Nemesis"
