Most people call me Fred. I am 25. I just graduated from Law School in Ireland. I am quite a social and dynamic person.

I like to travel in order to discover new cultures, new countries and to meet new people.

I like to travel light-weighed and in an unplanned way in order to be able to adapt the journey to the circumstances and to be able to immerse myself fully in a foreign culture.

Recently, I have acquired a certain taste for hitchhiking, which I believe goes well with couchsurfing, as it allows you to meet locals and share lots of stories.

MY PHILOSOPHY

The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
Randy Pausch

Life is too short to live with regrets, so live it to the fullest !!!
Heroes have re morse, never regrets 😄

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Perfect opportunity to meet people, make new friends in foreign places, share with them experiences and have a lot of fun.

Alternative, fulfilling and more affordable way to stay in a city.

"Go on random adventures": you decide to trust someone you don't know in ordre to live some of the most random and memorable moments of your life.
