About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn Albanian

ABOUT ME

From Cork, for now I live in Cork.
I've travelled to almost 50 countries and when I'm not travelling I like meeting people from different countries. Especially people who are willing to teach me their language and who are patient enough to listen to me try to speak their language. Currently eager to practice with Spanish, Albanian, French and Russian speakers.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay cool.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a few people back when I lived in Kosovo. Looking forward to meeting more people. If I can't host I can meet for a city tour!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few people when I was in Kosovo. It's a bit more difficult in Ireland as I move around a lot. I've never been a guest but that may all change this summer!

Interests

I love watersports, well any outdoor activity really. Scuba diving, hiking, rafting... love taking nature photography and climbing mountains.
