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.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll try and teach you about me and where I'm from.

I'll try and learn about you and where you're from.

I'll happily share my food, drink, knowledge, and time with you and anyone else

Easy company, good conversation, a great laugh, and maybe even a dance if the music is right (I can't dance as well sober though)
