About Me

Hi, I was born in Australia, I am Irish but I've lived in England for most of my life. I have a pretty cool job teaching kids kayaking and canoeing. I think French is the most beautiful language on earth. My favourite colour is green. Snow over sun any day. I'd like tonnes of tattoos but have none. I've never once ended a session at work without plaiting the children's hair. If I'm bored I like to do handstands :) how about you?

CURRENT MISSION

To learn 4 languages by living in 4 different countries significantly by the age of 27.

PHILOSOPHY

If you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree it will live it's whole life believing it is stupid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to Poland for 10 days for a festival and spent the last 2 couchsurfing and had the most incredible time.

I backpacked around Europe in January of 2016 by myself. It was a learning curve for sure. I couchsurfed in Austria and Switzerland while staying at a friend's in München. I am solidly sold on the couchurfing philosophy and will open up my future home to whoever would like to visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coming home from Ireland, in the middle of the night there's a duel carriageway that looks over Manchester and the lights at night time make an incredible view.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can plait hair in any and every way you want (even short pixie cuts/short boys hair).

I love to make up children's stories about how things came to be. For example a fictional story about how sunflowers came to be, or why the parrot was created.
