Hey!!I am an Irish guy but have lived in the Middle East for the past 7 years for work. Living in the Middle East has allowed me to travel a lot in Europe and Asia over the years. But now I want to experience South America hence why I recently quit my job and currently on a sabbatical for a year to travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned how to Free Dive and quickly feel in love with the sport. My current record is diving to a depth of 30 meters on a single breath with no equipment. Next milestone is 40 meters :)

Also one time I had to do an improvised Taditional Irish dance to the song of Gangnam Style at a Kyrgyzstan Wedding :)

Not sure which is one is more impressive so I'll put both 😂

Teach, Learn, Share

Photography had become a big passion of mine and I would love to share my knowledge with others and also learn from more experienced photographers.

I have also been practicing mindfulness meditation for the last number of years and love to share this life changing practise with others who want to know more about it.

Whenever I visit new countries I love to discover the local food. I love to cook myself so I am always looking to learn how to cook the local dishes from the people living there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, good chats and sharing of my stories and experiences from my travels around the world.

I love to cook so it would also be my pleasure to cook a meal for a host / fellow travelers.
