I'm 24 from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I graduated with an engineering bachelors degree in October and I am currently taking a break from anything serious. I'm very fortunate to be able to move up to my family holiday home (which my parents haven't been to in a whole year?!) and fart about for a few months. There's loads of surfing around here and that's what I've been spending most of my time doing.
I'm a pretty social person, so moving to a rural place has been a little challenging, so far I've only made one friend out here,tricky to meet people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Going on adventures and meeting interesting new people seems to bring out the best in me. Couchsurfing will allow me to do that more frequently, being that it will not cost so much to go on these adventures. When I travel the most memorable things about the trips are often the people I have connected with and the things they have taught me/ made me realise. Couchsurfing gives a great opportunity to meet even more kind, open-minded folk.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste is pretty varied, but some standouts would be: Aussie indie rock; surf rock; psychedelic rock; acid techno; hardcore techno; scottish and irish folk; alt 90s hip-hop

I used to keep a list of movies I liked but I've lost that, and my memory for things like this Isn't great so I really couldn't tell you what my favourite movies are :/

Not a big reader but a few I've read recently are: 1984; the alchemist; and a couple Ernest Hemmingway's. Ernest definitely does not pass the Bechdel test

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Favourite trip I've been on to date was to Morocco. Surfed for a week, then road tripped for a week. Amazingly beautiful country and people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you surfing, skating, English, Irish slang, about renewable energy, energy efficient homes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good vibes and conversation, a friend and tour guide (and a place to stay) if you ever visit Ireland, I'm a decent cook so could sort out dinner.
