CURRENT MISSION

To reconnect with the CS scene and meet people from all over the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm half Irish and half British.

I really enjoy getting to know people wherever they may be from ! 

Some of the best experiences of my life have been because of couch surfing. Living through the pandemic has made me very eager to reconnect with fellow CSers. 

I've lived in Nottingham, Edinburgh, Munich and Birmingham and have been involved in CS in all of these places. Pre pandemic I would go to Berlin a few times a year and be involved there. 

I have various hobbies and interests these days. I got really into running over the years. I play guitar and violin and speak some German (although that's not as good as it was - I'd like to take lessons again). I like hiking, travelling, film and music. I'd like to get back into climbing. 

I want to help the CS scene really thrive again.

If I have met you, then feel free to add me on facebook

PHILOSOPHY

I have a lot of compassion for people. I voted remain. I really enjoy meeting people from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was initially involved in the Nottingham couch surfing scene and would organise events and host. I then moved to Edinburgh and would organise events and get involved. I ended up living in a CS house there. The same thing later happened when I was living in Munich. I was later involved in the Birmingham CS scene. I've also been involved in the Berlin CS scene.

I've enjoyed meeting people when travelling / on holiday also.
