I'm a 22 year old Computer Science student from Ireland, just about to graduate.

I have crashed on a lot of couches, but have only found hosts through Couchsurfing.com a couple of times, that's why I don't have many friends or references on this site!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and explore new places in a personal way instead of just anonymously passing through hotels.

Interests

I love music, I play several instruments, mainly guitar and piano, and I'm a tenor in my university's choir - The Trinity Singers.
I play soccer and cricket for teams in Ireland, and also like playing rugby, tennis, hockey, and most other sports casually. My brother is a personal trainer so I also train in the gym with him, and enjoy keeping fit and active.
Being a computer science student I have an interest in technology and science, although computer science would not be my main passion.
I am starting to get into film photography, I have a couple of old film cameras and really enjoying bringing them around and learning to take better photos.
I'm a trained barista, and I'm really interested in specialty coffee, independent coffee shops and roasters. I always try and check out the best local coffee shops whenever I visit a new place.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can teach you how to make really good coffee at home!
I can also teach most musical instruments.
I can teach you how to write computer code (anyone can do it!)

Learn:
I love to try and learn a little bit of the language when I go to a new country, and try new types of food and drink
