Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ive always enjoyed passing on information about places i know to travelers in Ireland, so they gain an understanding of my perspective on the country hopefully in an unbiased non tourist directory sort of way. Last year a house mate/ good friend of mine was a CS host to many guests in our home, this was my first experience of couch surfing. Now i know and have met many funny nice people through this wonderful connection. It will spread with time too.

Interests

My interests are fairly varied. Food and cooking is a priority interest and anything in day to day life thats connected to giving enjoyment to your taste buds i see as very important. Otherwise i enjoy; listening to music, sometimes a good movie/TV series but not so much television. Nature & Natural surroundings, visiting parks around dublin, gardening, finding new beaches, escaping to the countryside or else home to cork, i love the sea especially at winter; body boarding as much as possible and other water and outdoor activities. Festivals and gigs when money allows. Chilling with friends, social drinks, house parties, dancing and sleeping at the end of all that.

Music, Movies, and Books

Nothing much mainstream unless its a legendary movie. World movies, anime and black comedy.
Music, its hard to generalise my music taste, i dont want to say i don't like something i might in the future, my taste changes every year of two and will enjoy anything thats good. At the moment i'm slightly stuck between electronic experimental music especially trance and phy-trance e.g. spongle, infected mushroom,plaid, kruder dorfmeister. . But also getting into 70's American influenced ascoustic stuff too from a friend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing things i've done as of yet is to spend time with friends on an average day, that nothing special happened but enjoyment in good company, nature, food, music and kind gestures.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being kind of a practically minded person i will always share, teach and want to learn more about skills and knowledge of the natural environment(especially food related). But at the same time delve past this and make connections with people around the world who have similarities based on a contrast of culture. As i want to know and undestand as much about the world we live in as possible i pass on and expect ppl to pass on all that is relevant and not hold any insights back.
