From Dublin, Ireland, but living in Medellin, Colombia after 20 months in Brasil both Rio de Janeiro and Salvador.

I love travelling and experiencing different cultures and making new friends along the way.

Through friends I met a number of people involved in Coach Surfing whilst travelling in Brasil. They were kind enough to share with me lots of interesting facts and information on their cities. So I decided to join CS.

What better way to experience a City than through the eyes of a local.

Happy to return to others the help given to me on my travels.

Philosophy:

“Accept that some days you are the pigeon, and some days you are the statue". David Brent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Moved to Colombia.

*Was living in Barra, Salvador, Brasil until recently.

Hoping to surf & see new places through the eyes of locals as much as possible!
In return I'd love to give back and host!

A great way to experience what a place has to offer and help show someone my City also.

I can tell you a lot about Dublin and surrounding ares has so much to offer !
