I'm Irish, from Dublin, but have been in Korea on/off for the past five years. Currently teaching (in Gangnam and living in Haebangchon area of) Seoul. I wasn't responding to messages/requests for a while for various reasons (hence the low response time) but I'm open to hosting again now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having friends around the world makes it seem comfortingly smaller, friendlier and more accessible. I hosted quite a lot back in Busan a few years ago and a couple of times in Suwon. I've met lovely people through Couchsurfing in Indonesia, Japan, Romania, England, and plenty more places in between.

Interests

Talking about films, music, reading, trips, true crime, weird tales, food feasts, taking photographs, museums, pubs, going on walks, cycling on my bike (has since been sold as scrap by wily janitor!), driving with the radio on, the quest for the perfect pizza
