CURRENT MISSION

To simply be happy and make others happy, wherever I am, whatever I'm doing

ABOUT ME

I'm from the countryside of Ireland; a beautiful, quiet and simple place. I moved to London in 2009 and lived there for 5 years.
While London has a beauty of its own I felt like it was time to move foward.

I spent a month in Chaing Mai (Thailand) in October and made some great friends. Words will simple never do justice to the experience. I will say that while there, I became addicted to motorbikes and tattoos! Thankfully I can't afford any more of either at the moment!

Music has been the biggest part of my life. I'm a guitarist, singer and songwriter. I've left a link to my music below.

Knowledge is invaluable. Learning from others about their experiences whether triumphs or failures, exchanging ideas, opinions and creativity on anything and everything; I love it all! :)

PHILOSOPHY

"It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couchsurfing so I'm just getting to grips with things. It sounds like a great way to meet people on the same page, or even if not, there's always something to learn from others experiences.
