Find my photos on @newmunday, show me around for the day and I can guarantee you a new profile picture ;)

I’m Greg, I was born and grew up on the west coast of Ireland, now a student at the University of Exeter, UK. I study Physics with Astrophysics, but spend most of time dreaming about surfing and travelling (see my average grades).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Strong believer in the slightly cringe but optimistic “Strangers are friends we haven’t met yet” idea - love meeting new people and exchanging stories, culture and experiences.

Can offer mind boggling physics facts/philosophies, surfing hype, outdoor life hype, photography hype, basically all the hype.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In October 2017 my friend and I won a contest run by Quiksilver, and were flown out to the Quiksilver Pro Hossegor (France) for a week, all expenses paid. Got to surf and hang out with the pro surf team which was one of the best experiences of my life, we were given VIP passes for the event and we got set up in a beachside apartment overlooking the event site!!

Safe to say my tutors at university weren’t happy about my last minute middle of term vacation but wouldn’t have traded it for the world.
