CURRENT MISSION

The same as it is every night; world domination.

ABOUT ME

Wandering Irish vagabond, writer, lazy musician and general lay-about.

PHILOSOPHY

If you pray, pray with your feet. Make the world better than you found it, whatever that means to you.

Life is hard enough when you belong here, so smile at people in the street.

Take off both shoes what ever chances you get.

“I keep my life on a heavy rotation, requesting that it’s lifting you up, up, up and away and over to a table at the gratitude cafe.”

“Better to sleep in an uncomfortable bed free, than sleep in a comfortable bed unfree” - Jack Kerouac

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Regular visitor (read couch-bum) and ad-hoc host to friends, relations and the odd kindly stranger around the country.

Facilitate and return the same kind of hospitality whenever I can.

Otherwise I try to cook, clean and entertain to earn my keep.

Helped put up a circus tent.

Learned that all of that stuff is only ‘amazing' because of the people I’ve done it with.
