About Me

CURRENT MISSION

There is a whole world out there and most of it I have not seen. With most of the places I have visited, it is the people I have met that make a place fantastic. I would like to help the couch surfers of the world meet the Irish (who I think are great)

ABOUT ME

Awesomeness personified :) . I am not afraid to try new things and I am fully committed when I do. Generally I would be quiet/shy at first but then a bit more talkative. Or as some of my guests have said very funny when I have a few drinks.

PHILOSOPHY

"as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to be part of the couchsurfing philosophy as I think it is a great idea to help people see the world. At the moment though I am busy with work (too busy to travel) so to do my part I would like to host some interesting people - Even the quiet ones, or those who need a day to recharge.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first group of couchsurfers were from France. 2 really nice girls. I got cookies :). Looking forward to having some more soon.

One year of hosting down and I have met some really cool people. I hope I get to visit them too.

I haven't travelled yet but I have slept on many couches, floors, in cars etc... I thought I would go professional in the future
