Overview
About Me
Half Irish, half Scottish.
Easy going, love local knowledge of places, don't wanna feel like a tourist.
In my final year of training to be a medical doctor, planning to see the world eventually
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Travelling to the East Coast USA for a few weeks, would love to get some local knowledge of places to visit, and would be great to meet some people for beers in the evening.
You bring the maracas, I'll bring the wine!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Starred in a Hollywood film with Brad Pitt!
I was an extra, and if you pause it, you can almost make me out.

What I Can Share with Hosts
