Overview
About Me
I find it difficult to describe myself as I am a bit of a contradiction. I've always considered myself a loner but I've recently realised that all my favourite memories are special moments I share with other people.
I'm happiest when I'm learning something new; either by exploring somewhere on my own, by reading, or by talking with somebody. I am fascinated by people's stories and perspective on life so I tend to ask a lot of questions.
At home (in Ireland) I worked as an environmental scientist and I have a huge love of nature and I am very passionate about conservation. It is my dream to start up a tree planting charity and I travelled around Europe to learn from people with similar ideas.
I set up my Couchsurfing account years ago but I never had to use it, people I met on my travels treated me like a brother and it's an experience I will never forget. Magic exists in every lovely moment... The kindness of strangers is incredibly humbling and I want to thank you in advance for reading this.
I look forward to meeting you someday and would love to hang out, chat, and learn from each other. Until then, take care :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It seems like a fantastic way to exlore new places with the people who live there and know them best
Interests
I'm happiest when I'm learning something new so I enjoy reading, exploring and meeting people.
I am trying to figure out how everything is linked... How nature is tied into the music, literature, customs, folklore and religion of an area, how people think and feel, and what do they dream about.
No matter who you are, I will be interested in what you have to say :)
Music, Movies, and Books
Anything that is weird or different fascinates me. I like books, music and movies that change the way I think.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In the summer of 2014 I travelled the long forgotten Hippy Trail. I hitch hiked from Prague, through the Middle East to India.
Teach, Learn, Share
I will happily help you practice speaking English and if there's anything you would like to know about Ireland or any of the countries I have visited I would love to answer your questions.
I studied yoga, meditation, massage and reiki while in India; I am not an expert but I would love to practice.
