CURRENT MISSION

To have a good look around the world and leave as little trace as possible

ABOUT ME

I believe traveling is the best drug in the world and it is the best way to learn about yourself and human interaction. I have traveled a good bit around Ireland Europe, the Northwest of America and Southern Africa. I've loads of varied interests but music is high up as is football (the world's game), swimming, hiking, camping, fishing, rafting, reading, cooking, meditation & quality time with family and friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Life has no meaning unless you give it meaning. People make the world go around . . . each one teach one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met up a few times with the Dublin couch surfers and always get a good buzz from the gatherings. I enjoy seeing the way people can meet and share stories of traveling.
