Hello there!
I'm just back in Dublin after 10 months of traveling and of course.. I want to continue to meet new people and see new places! So you are welcome to send a request or maybe we can just go explore somewhere together or go see some live music, whatever!

However! There is not much space in my place! You would be sleeping on the couch in the living room!

if you want you can read some more of my references on my bewelcome account:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Chances are I'm probably on couchsurfing for the same reasons you are!

We love traveling, we love hosting travelers and hearing their stories and being a part of their journey, we love meeting locals and making friends all over the world, aand we love free accommodation! (although some won't admit to that part hahaa)
Right?

I can say sincerely that I have shared some really magical moments with people I've met through couchsurfing, and even formed beautiful friendships with a few of them.
For that I am extremely grateful and look forward to the future!
Life is an adventure!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born into this world.. to me that's pretty amazing!
Everything else that's happened to me, just as amazing, which I could reduce to letters and words and list here, came from that one moment!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I often teach drums, so I can certainly give you some lessons if you are interested! I love teaching drums!
What we share really depends on how open we can be with one another! Hopefully we can share some magical human moments of time!
