About Me

Insta: davidowensmusic
Hello! I’m a musician originally from Galway, but I’ve been based in Dublin for the past few years. I often play on Grafton st or in small venues. Like many musicians with Covid it didn’t make sense to stay in Dublin any longer, so I’ve recently finished fixing up my old VW camper Betty and am spending my time exploring Ireland and busking as I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel alone and so it’s a great way to meet new people. As I have my campervan I don’t really need anything from anyone, although a safe parking space and shower are always very appreciated!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met and hosted many couchsurfers - in Ireland, America, Budapest, and France. I'm a huge fan of couchsurfing, and can’t wait to start using it more now that I’m back on the road.

Interests

I make sure to do my yoga and meditation daily (cliche i know but hey!). I enjoy cooking and absolutely love long walks and hikes in nature.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love many acts but at the moment my favourites are probably Bon Iver and Sigur Ros.
Movies: Coffee and cigarettes is probably my favourite, but I love most movies to be honest, I’m easily please!
Books: Oscar Wilde is my favourite. Lately I’ve been binging on psychology and self help books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess leaving my job and following my dream has been the biggest thing...though it's still ongoing so I don't know if I can say "done" really ...

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have a piano or guitar I’d be more than happy to help you play them!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a mean curry, or provide insight into the street music scene of your city or country!
