ABOUT ME

I am generous to a fault, I trust people until they do something foolish. I enjoy conversation. I love a good movie and have been known to shed a tear if the situation is heart-wrenching(War Horse). I will watch just about every sport imaginable -- except darts and frog racing.

PHILOSOPHY

I am here for a short time -- and my goal is to enjoy as much as possible. If the thinest layer of skin is removed from the human body then we are all the same colour...so why do people become racist?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There is good news and bad news about my experiences as a host. The good news is that ALL of the guests have been wonderful, entertaining, and full of life/travel experiences. The bad news is that they have set a very high standard for all future guests to live up to. So far I have hosted, French, German, Italian, Chilean, and American travelers and all have been fantastic.

I have been in 2 war-torn areas and it saddens me that mankind can be so cruel to others.
Traveled to Egypt for 3 weeks and then stayed for 9 months. An awesome country.

Spent 4 winters 2013-16 in Mexico ---amazing country and same for the people.

Left Ireland when I was 21 and arrived in the most fantastic country in the world --- CANADA. Because of Canada I am a better person.
