I'm 19, from Northern Ireland and I'm currently on a gap year before I head to University in Newcastle to study Dentistry this September coming. I'm taking a gap year because I just want to see the world and meet new people from different parts of the globe and to have a chilled out year before I have to study for the upcoming years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Iv never couchsurfed before but when I head about it, I thought it was an unreal idea. It gives a unique opportunity to meet locals when you are traveling who can show you hidden gems of the surrounding area. But the main reason is that in my opinion, anyone who is willing to let someone they have never met before stay in their home is going to be a pretty easy going, friendly and generous person.

Interests

My main hobby is field hockey which is big in Ireland, I also play drums, read, going for runs, hiking, traveling and meeting new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music at the moment is saxophone music. When I watch anything on TV it's usually a documentary, something like planet earth or frozen planet. My favorite book has to be You Are Not So Smart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing half dome in Yosemite was a pretty awesome thing for me.
