About Me

I"m a 26 year old Irish/ English songwriter based in the UK, and working between here and Europe.

I've travelled SE Asia, fallen in love in South Africa, built a business in Australia, can ride horses backwards, grew up in the countryside of Ireland, have no allergies and love all food. I am outgoing, apparently funny, have weird facial expressions and love teaching and learning new languages.

A couple of things I've achieved thus far in life:
Fallen off a large tree into a waterfall drip pool in Thailand
Accidentally called a prince of Lebanon and told him he had a rat infestation in his house
Made my sister laugh so hard she peed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I love a beautiful hotel like the next traveller, I truly prefer to back pack, stay with locals and immerse myself in the culture and minds of those who live wherever it is I've chosen to go and explore.

The true beauty of travel is meeting locals or like-minded individuals from whom you can learn new things, and who can share their experience and passion for the city or country you're travelling in. I'm fascinated by different mind sets and opinions, and I love to learn new things constantly. A bit of a sponge for information, and a lover of all human beings.

I'm an avid traveller myself, and would love to become a host in the near future - but since I'm constantly in Europe writing it's made it difficult to do so!
