ABOUT ME

I love cheese. I love Sushi. I love sake And wine. Beer and whiskey...
I use some words too strongly perhaps.
Basically i like to indulge in most food and drink. Music is a passion. I Listen and play. Likewise to language...i write and read. my hands are small and my fingers are short. I make bad jokes...not tasteless but bad. I forget the date daily and forget the time hourly. measurements, maps and scales are easily lost on me(this is a bad quality).
I am often self conscious and even more often self confident...delusions of grandeur and incompetence.
I enjoy meeting new people. I got my haircut: its too short... I often over use punctuation...
I have an irish accent sometimes. other times i dont.
I think im interesting.
I would like to be an artist but lack the required talent. I'd like to be a teacher, but lack the adequate degree. I love cheese.
I am forgetful and often repeat myself.

This was fun to write but im tired now...

PHILOSOPHY

something about yellow snow...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am travelling. My home, if I have one, is in Ireland but I have not been there in a year.
I think the idea of couchsurfing is a great one, uniting different people and being hospitable to one another seems to me to be a very beautiful thing(that sounds cheesey but its true). Couchsurfing makes the world that little bit smaller!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Brief and Brilliant so far.

We (Macha and I) have encountered two wonderful host homes whilst on our Big US Adventure. Two great homes we were welcomed into and as a result we've met some even greater people, seen parts of Austin we would have never found and a secret snow canyon that resembled middle earth.
So far we've met what may be regarded as 'salt of earth' or really interesting people. Shared experiences over good food and drink.
Played shuffle board for the first time too..
