Happy go-lucky. Outgoing. Lover of music, film, theatre, travel and animals. Short attention span so no long term guests. One or two nights for those passing through. 20 minutes on train from Belfast. Happy to show visitors the bright lights and cultural hot spots of the Big City or at least point them in the right direction. My flat is small and cosy. Sofa bed very comfy but must be willing to share with two very friendly cats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just like the idea of hosting and being part of the couch surfing community while travelling. Sounds like fun! My kids do it and if it's good enough for them it's good enough for me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Managed to get out of Croatia minus a passport while extremely drunk and stroppy. Basically, I think I was deported.
