About Me

Righttt so I grew up in Northern Ireland for 18 years and then went to university in London to study! Spent eight years there, learnt a lot, met great people. Now I've got a job in NYC as a software engineer. I've couchsurfed 3 times in Germany, and twice in the US! Everyone was great and considerate and fun to be around which is what I hope to be! I enjoy pondering, bouldering, politics, culture, a cool glass of beer, a hot bowl of ramen or anything else that sounds good tbh

Fun, interesting, considerate people are prioritised (also patient French speakers lol)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to visit all of Europe! Then the rest of the world after that! I'm not greedy at all. When I get a big enough place to stay I'd let to let people stay with me. Ping me to see if I'm in a current spot that works!
