About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hoping to start my own cafe soon. I'm very driven, if I want something I will try my best to get it.

ABOUT ME

Well I'm a friendly outgoing person who has worked in hospitality for 7 years so as you would assume I'm not shy. I always dreamed of having my own business, but one day I saw a film and decided to become a journalist. Went and got a bachelors degree in journalism and realised tht I should have stuck with my initial dream. But I learned and met some extraordinary people along the way, my study took me to the Uk, Ghana, Germany, Belguim, Ghana and back to Ireland. Something I would never forget. Now I live every day with the eagerness it deserves, I always smile in the worst of situations. If I were not me I would be intrigued by myself.

PHILOSOPHY

With enough personal motivation you can piss gold.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to live in Killarney which is Ireland's tourist capital. I had a spare bedroom and two couches for people to surf on. Stay with me and I drove people to sights they otherwise miss and describe them in ways you would not hear and be much better than a shitty guide book. Now I'm living in Frankfurt in Germany and available to meet and discuss random shit but unfortunatelyy no couch or car here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have learned amazing things and found people of spectacular nature, which would inspire the uninspirable.

Interests

I like to surf, love beer and coffee. Played rugby since I was 12. Enjoy good food and cocktails.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is cool but I don't really use it as a talking point it's more of a thing that leads to the talking point. I watch chick flicks coz they make me feel good. I only ever read theoretical books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked in a Tv station in Ghana. Was managing director of a company at 22, which was not successful but that's not the point.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will drive you around the most spectacular places in the world.
