I’m an award-winning travel writer and author of A Year of Festivals in Ireland, a musician and a music lecturer at South East Technological University on the south coast of Ireland. In 2015 I cycled the entire Wild Atlantic Way on a wooden bicycle. Myself and my partner Ellie are currently on a two year adventure, attempting to cycle around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is no better way of learning about places than talking to the people who live in those places. On my travels I have constantly been blown away by the kindness of strangers, and I would like to pay back some of that kindness.

What I Can Share with Hosts
