I’m a 27 year-old Sports Press Officer from Dublin.

I’m currently cycling from Ireland to Vietnam for charity!

I love backpacking and I’ve used Couchsurfing to meet people and have also stayed with a host before.

I love stories, it’s life’s true currency. I love to hear them and share them…

I use couchsurfing to meet locals, because sometimes it can be better than meeting fellow travelers in hostels.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I hope that I’m here for the same reason as you.

To learn
To experience new ways of thinking
To see new ways of living
To have my opinions challenged
To experience

If you’re here for any of those reasons, then we will get on just fine!

音乐、电影和书籍

MUSIC

For the stories - Irish Music (Ask me about it!)
To impress my friends - Pop
What I really like - Abba & Rock/Metal

MOVIES

Into The Wild, Les Untouchables & In Bruges are the gold standard.

Otherwise my taste can range from late night comedies to action thrillers!

BOOKS

Sports books, as a sports nerd I kind of have to!

But I love autobiographies because they’re all stories, around sport, but more importantly - they show why sport is so special and everything that can come from something so simple as kicking a football!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I cycled over 4600km across Europe in just under four months. From my house in Ireland to places like Paris, Brussels, Zurich, Milan, Nice and Barcelona!

Language

If you want to learn a bit of Irish, I can teach you - Táim abalta ag caint as gaelige!

History & Politics

I love my history, and we have a lot of that. Ask me about Irish history and I could talk all night.

Journalism/Media

I’m a graduate in Journalism and have worked in the industry for nearly five years. It’s an interesting industry that I could share with hosts/surfers.

Sports

Who’s your favourite football team? Ever heard of Gaelic games like hurling or Gaelic football? Why have Ireland not won the Rugby World Cup? Do you like cycling also? I talked about it for my job, it’s one of my passions.

A beer

I’m Irish, so this is the most important and my personal favourite! I love to tell stories, hear stories, share a laugh, and share my hopes and dreams. There’s no better place to do that than over a nice cold pint!
