About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To invent a personal teleporter.

ABOUT ME

I'm an Irish man, living in Berlin to have a change of lifestyle.
I'm easy going and open minded, love science and philosophy, maybe some day I'd like to go back to university and research some stuff.
I love meeting new people to hear and share my own travelling or home stories.

PHILOSOPHY

To learn as much as I can while having a positive influence on other people's lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd really like to meet some new people here in Berlin to share experiences with and give me new ideas. Getting a couch to stay on now and again would be cool too, I'd be happy to just meet for a few beers or coffees too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a German girl here in Berlin who first introduced me to CS and she had hosted someone from cs who was a very interesting and funny guy. Have now hosted two people myself in Berlin

Interests

Travelling, like most csers, even tho I won't get the opportunity in the next while, I'll just have to start hosting people instead :).

I like to cook very much, will even cook if its only me eating. Mostly though I enjoy cooking for friends so I can see their appreciation :)

Skiing is probably my greatest passion, I'd love to do another ski season but have to see. I'll go nuts if I don't get to do some kind of skiing this winter tho.

Alcohol in all its forms bar the piss of a drunken person :p.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: My favourite type of music is rock, in particular the old clasics like Led Zepplin, Pink Flyod, Guns n Roses, ACDC etc... I also like some trance and dance like Daft Punk, The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy. Reggae is great music to dance to and sometimes I'd listen to it chilling too.

Books: The main genre of books that I read is scifi/fantasy, at the minute I'm reading lots of Philip K. Dick.
Favourite books: Dune 1, 3 and 5; The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldricht, And Now Wait for Last Year, A Scanner Darkly; The Fountians of Paradise; The Count of Monte Christo, Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
