I'm a 28 year old living in Derry City centre. I like going out, also like meeting new people and love reading, craft beer, homebrewing and cooking.

I'm big of fan of travelling and have been to a lot of Europe so far. Coming up I'd like to go to Croatia, North Africa, Iceland and more of Asia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted one girl whilst at university and have yet to couchsurf myself but looking to start soon! It's always nice to get a local to show you round and tell you the best places to eat and drink.

Interests

Reading, politics, cooking, travel, beer, cats, dogs.

When I am travelling I like visiting local breweries and restaurants that serve traditional, local food.

Music, Movies, and Books

Read just about anything, always have a book or two on the go. Currently rereading The Wheel of Time. I particularly like fantasy books and travel books.

Music, anything really but mainly rock music. Bands I like include Foo Fighters, Muse, Led Zeppelin, The Strokes, Thin Lizzy, Coheed and Cambria, Guns N'Roses, Wolfmother, Kings of Leon. Also listen to other genres like classical, techno, trad Irish.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you round Derry and talk you through the troubled local history. And show you the best places to eat and drink.

I can also teach you how to make beer from scratch if I happen to be brewing when you're here.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I used to work as a cocktail barman so I like making cocktails . Spiced mojitos would be my favourite. I have a pretty decent whiskey and beer selection as well and I love to make hot whiskies in the winter.
