CURRENT MISSION

Have as much fun as possible while searching for a job in an Architecture practice. Impove my french and learn Spanish and live in South America for a few years.

ABOUT ME

I don't like many types of cheese. I don't know anything about wine. I would like to speak spanish and I'm not impressed with my standard of french. My mother is cool and climbs mountains on the weekends. I have 3 brothers, one is in a metal band. I can paint and draw quite well. I cannot spell, I suck at that. I hate mobile phones and texting. I love pdf's and old traditions and skills and like people who can do things with their hands like, sculpture or carpentry.

PHILOSOPHY

"Find a job you love and you'll never work again"
Winston Churchill

"Being nice is much easier than being an asshole"
Hugh Magee

By 2050 1 in 3 people will be a squatter, the world is changing and I'd like to help, architecture seems to be one way for me to do that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new, I haven't participated yet. It's difficult as I'm in collocation at the minute so I'm in the process of convincing my colloc to let people surf at chez moi.
Next year, I'm going home to dear old Ireland, everyone's welcome!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Here a 6 things I think are amazing.

Arrived in Sao Paolo airport and met a guy from the airline who told he was sorry but although I was in South America my bags were still in Asia and would arrive eventually.

Broke my collar-bone.....twice, playing Gaelic football and have a titanium plate screwed into it to hold it together, when I go through airport security I "beep" from time to time.

Shark cage diving in South Africa

Bought a flight to China at 9am and left the country at 10am.

Won 5000 pounds when I was 20 to travel around they world to study social contrast in our largest cities.

Fell in love.
