CURRENT MISSION

A slow circumnavigation of the Earth

ABOUT ME

Travel is fun but its all about the people you meet and the fun you have with them - so hopefully this site will further that. I like acting the guide and, although I don't want to boast, I am a good guide and love showing people around and showcasing the history, architecture, food, music and drinking establishments of wherever I happen to be living - I live in Spain but I am originally from Ireland.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live, for want to anything else snappier.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted (in Dublin), surfed, attended events (especially in Warsaw) and arranged some hiking/cycling activities in Ireland.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed a few times at this stage - all in Poland and Qatar. I have also met up with the fun CSers of Warsaw, Poland more than a few times.

I have hosted in Dublin and given people lifts on tours of Ireland. I'm keen on history, like visiting historic sites and ruins and always happy to give a lift to anyone to these places when I am going.
