I am a 23 year old, friendly, Irish man who has only recently started properly traveling. My travel plans for the coming years of my life are ambitious and I'm excited to dive in head first.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My sister is the one who described Couchsurfing, and since then I've been dying to try it. When I visit a destination I would like to learn some of the language, sample some of the food and experience some of the culture from a local perspective! Although I'm partial to a beer and a party (given my Irish roots), its not my sole purpose in travelling. I party enough during my university term and would genuinely prefer to spend most of my travel time learning, experiencing, photographing and not just partying all the time (but maybe sometimes). Having said this, I understand that not every host has time to be a personal tour guide.

I have never to date been in a position to host a Couchsurfer as I simply have not had accommodation of my own to offer (so far I've lived with relatives my whole life). Although it's a cliché, and you may not believe me, but I plan to host many CSers, pick up many Hitchhikers, and help out many travellers as soon as its possible for me to do so, in fact I can't wait to do so. So for the time being, my sole purpose of couchsurfing is to be hosted by others. This may seem like an unfair imbalance, which it is, but all I can do is give you my word that I will repay my debts to the CS community in the future.
