important , please if you are requesting after the 11 of september 2023 , please contact me threw Instagram https://www.instagram.com/paddyjoemik/ or leave some form of contact details in your initial request message as i will not have access to my CF profile after that date as i refuse to pay in order to host guests , this will mean i will not be able to message back on here or be able to receive or leave references , sorry for the inconvenience !
Thank you !

i have travelled quite a lot over the years , and as i have my own place here , i'm just returning the hospitality
i live outside the small seaside town of ballybunion along the wild Atlantic way ,(and the box)
i'm living in a small cottage and currently renovating it , so its not always possible to host due to ongoing work , but will try not to leave anyone stuck either ,
fine big garden for camping anytime but as i'm very near the sea it can get a bit wild in windy weather,
please allow me some time to reply to your requests also , as i still do not own one of those smart arse phones yet, (or maybe ever) , so i'm not always connected to the www.
i have no problem with race, class nor creed , but please be respectful of my beliefs in pastafarian and talk like a pirate on a Friday !
and please bring a sense of humor too if your coming ,oh and maybe a present too , some gold or jewels or something piratey , rum will do too or cake :) so please ask me if i have any dietary needs in your request if your bringing cake !

i'm a joker , a smoker and a midnight toker ( kidding , but was advised to include being a smoker in my profile as not to irritate anyone )

N.B. couchsurfing does not always notify my email straight away if i have mail here , so please try and request a few days in advance , as i have missed a few last minuet requests recently , also feel free to notify couchsurfing of this problem as this might help fix this issue , they have also started to charge me for using the site , wich i think seems a bit unfair to expect me to pay for hosting people ,so if i do not have access to my profile again in future , you can contact me on Instagram , paddyjoemik

Interests

everything and anything

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

not being big headed or anything but too many to mention
and it depends on what amazes you

What I Can Share with Hosts

travel stories , full of useless information about everything and anything ,
open fire , and roof over your head ,kitchen to cook in , either own room with bed and couch in , or room with bed and sea views depending on time of year , and sometimes a lift here or there , as public transport is crap around here ,
or just enjoy your own space in a place you can just relax and recharge from your wandering
