My name is Graham. I come from a small Island off the west coast of Ireland. My main interests are restoring old VW buses and Beetles, playing music and surfing.

Playing music is a real passion in my life, it has turned from a hobby into touring, playing festivals around Europe and supporting some of the names I looked up to while I was growing up. I have been surfing and playing guitar since I was 8 years old and my passions have remained the same since I was a child. I love life and I am very grateful for the life I get to live, which I have built from all of my passions.

I love to meet people who enjoy life as I do, to see new places, meet locals and try to connect to an area with a more accurate picture over tourist attractions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Originally I wanted to see what it was all about and for a few years now, I enjoyed the stories and positive energy that travelers bring to my home.

Interests

I have been driving and working on old VW's since I was 12 years old. This interest grew more and more over the years and I now find myself with opportunities to use these old buses to see the world. I have made incredible friends all over through this world. Many made from breakdowns on the side of the road, but I think sometimes the connection is even stronger when the going gets tough.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to list. Life gives me many gifts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always happy to share any information I hold. Music tips or tricks, VW Kombi life, breakdowns, mechanical knowledge. Surf lessons (if we have a beach to use)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music! I usually have a guitar with me to share some traditional Irish music or some of my own originals.
