CURRENT MISSION

Travel and connect with people from other cultures.

ABOUT ME

I grew up on a farm with my parents, two sisters and two brothers on the south coast of Ireland. After school I qualified as an Electrician and spent fourteen years working in this industary. However, in September 2013 I needed a change and I decided to change career and continant. I started working as a voluntary English teacher in Ethiopia for six months. After this my seven month journey through Africa begin and on returning home I worked as an Electrician for a year in the gas rigs in the noth sea, just off the Scottish coast. This was a great experience, but my desire for further travel never waned and that's why I'm now traveling through S America for a year. I enjoy being active, reading books, watching movies, learning about other cultures and above all meeting and chatting with people. I love to talk, share ideas and have some laughs in between.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like them to treat you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet, connect and talk with people from different cultures while sharing life stories and having a few laughs.

Interests

I love being physically active, whether that means playing soccer, jogging or swimming. At other times I like to read books on anything, but mostly on philosophy, psychology, spirituality, travel, economics and anything that takes my attention. I enjoy movies too, most of all I enjoy people.....just chatting and getting to know others.
