Informazioni generali
Chi sono
I'm a freelance journalist based in Ireland. I'm an easy-going guy, love meeting new people and have been told that I can be funny. Mad into movies, weird, glitchy music and all things postmodern
I'm incredible passionate about culture and storytelling in general. I love to get into in-depth discussions about peoples' favourite movies/books/music/whatever and what it means to them.
I'm a wannabe writer so I love hearing people's experiences. In addition to covering culture, I also write stories about the overlooked citizens of Dublin. I've written features about cornershop owners, comic book creators and buskers.
Apologies, I'm an ignorant swine who only knows English. I blame colonization and my own laziness.
My current favourite film is Climax so if you're a Gaspar Noe fan, that's a bonus too.
Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing
The best part of travelling is always the people you encounter on the way, and Couchsurfing lets me make bonds with generous, kind individuals who are willing to host me on my trip.
I'd also love to get to know the city from people who actually live and breathe it. If you wanna share your experiences in the city or your favourite bars/gig venues, I'm all ears
Let's have the craic and make experiences that we'll look back fondly on for the rest of our lives. (IMPORTANT: Craic is Irish slang for fun, not drugs!)

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto
Amazing is a really strong word. I hope I'm working my way up to doing something truly amazing later in life.
In the last few months, I've become a published journalist, which I'm proud of. I've covered Irish comic creators, owners of the last independent corner shops in Dublin, and next month, my piece on Dublin buskers will be released.

TEACH
Could teach some very basic guitar.
Could perhaps give tips on interviewing people for articles.
I studied film for four years and made my own films. I've also worked on big TV shows like Into the Badlands, so if you're a beginner filmmaker who wants a little insight, I'm happy to help.
LEARN
I want to learn about the odd corners of the world. There's untold stories everwhere. So share all your crazy experiences please.
Things I'd wanna get better at include making music, comedy, acting but I'm open to everything.
Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa
I am a polite and tidy individual. Clean up after meals OBVIOUSLY. Give me some banging tunes or good conversation and cleaning dishes becomes a very zen enjoyable experience
I can share tales of Ireland, the different culture it has (sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a very bad way!), and funny stories from my only slightly dysfunctional childhood.
I've been told I'm funny so hopefully I'll bring a couple of laughs to your household.
If you like playing a couple of tunes, I sing and play guitar badly
I'm Irish so of course I'm a class drinking buddy
Someone to play video games with.
Also I do an absolutely KILLER Super Mario impression
