I play guitar and sing regularly on stage. Can talk to people about anything of an interesting topic. I'm a fiend for the sauce. I like being able to just lie back and chill. Pasta in any form is a way of life.

Life is about landing on your feet, but being prepared to break a foot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm an Irish student who lives in Haarlem but studies in Amsterdam at UvA. I study European Studies (which is just a shortened way of saying European politics, history, culture and integration). I am also studying Russian with my uni so anyone who can help me out with that would be great!

Traveling isn't just about the sights, its the people that make it. I've had some good encounters travelling in the last few months aswell as some low points, but its like anything, pack up your stuff, have some coffee and walk on with your head up!

I went to a talk with Tomislav Perkov about travelling the world and it captured my mind, so it is what I will be living by for years to come.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed awake for 62hours straight in Andorra during the Winter with no place to sleep or sit indoors. Survived off a very good panini, cigarettes and coffee.
