ABOUT ME

I'm pretty simple really. I get a long with most people and I enjoy almost any kind of company. Generally, the more different from myself the better, as that's truly where we learn the most.

PHILOSOPHY

I saw this on a random Thai kids Ultraman shirt once. It's pretty straight forward, but I think we all forget it every now and then: "Do what you like and like what you do". It's the idea I remember my Mum always repeating to me while growing up and, if nothing else, the one thing I try to live by.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, just some awesome stories from others, but I'm hoping to change that soon.

Interests

Playing music. I try to play almost every instrument I can get my hands on. It's almost a little bit unhealthy. I play the accordion pretty well. I've been learning the mandolin while traveling recently. I can play the trombone and trumpet alright as well. Other instruments I can sort of kinda play in no particular order: tenor banjo, guitar, piano, harmonica, jaw harp, tin whistle, melodica, double bass.

I really dig traditional Irish music. A lot of folky/traditional music actually.
