My name is Imralis. I was born and raised in all different parts of Cork, Ireland, from inner city to insanely rural ( surrounded by cows and farmers ). I moved schools frequently growing up due to my parents constantly re-locating so I just got used to travelling. One of my biggest ambitions is to travel and immerse myself in different countries and their cultures. I have yet to leave Europe, but I'm still young : )
I make a living from playing music on the streets, and I'm currently traveling around Europe ( also paid for by music).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel to every continent and visit all the different cultures. I never really liked the idea of staying still, and couchsurfing seems to be the perfect way to move freely and get in touch with the locals as opposed to staying in a hotel and just visiting the tourist attractions. I also love the idea of helping other people travel easier and I can't wait to have my own place where I can host like-minded people.

Interests

I like to learn new things. I began learning guitar 3 years ago, and singing.
I also climb whenever I get the chance, mainly bouldering (rope climbing and heights make my palms sweat).
I love to cook, and I often learn new recipes from friends.
My biggest passion is music, listening or playing. Also books. Books are great.

Music, Movies, and Books

Irish artists are the first to spring to mind...
Damien rice
Dermot Kennedy
Glen Hansard and more
I like folky soul music, but I try to expand my playlists when I can.
My favorite book is "The Time Travelers Wife" and for movies "Good Will Hunting". I'm always willing to watch it again if someone hasn't seen it 😊

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my 16th birthday I jumped out of a plane at 10,000 feet with a parachute. The feeling of free falling through the air is incomparable to most other things I've experienced.
I also must go and try wing-suit gliding, that looks awesome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I usually have a guitar with me, and I'm always happy to play a song or have a jam. Apart from that, I love to cook with others.
