I live in Dublin, Ireland. I grew up playing punkrock and touring and now im into finding that same energy and spirit in alot of traditional music. I travel still but when I am at home I like working away in my little artspace and create stuff. Pretty nerdy and down to have long chats over coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seems like a really good way to meet cool people who travel. I also know how it feels to be new to a city and I wanna give back in the same way that I have been welcomed so many places. This site seems to streamline that somewhat and I think that thats cool.

Interests

It kinda made sense to learn how to keep track of my stuff as I kept bringing it on tour. Also I was the guy in the band that was the gearhead so I often owned alot of the things we brough. So I started fixing stuff. Later, when I got more into woodworking and acoustic instruments I sought out teachers and apprenticeships and it snowballed from there. Im extremely patient and there is something spiritually rewarding in fixing instruments.
I also write music and perform and thats important to me as well. Obviously into knowing about the world we live in and how we affect it and eachother so I try to read alot.
