About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The pursuit of pleasure

ABOUT ME

In process of updating profile, back in Ireland for 4 years after returning from NZ.

I am Irish, I spent almost 10yrs in NZ after falling in love with the country on a working holiday. I have spent most of my time there working as a Zoologist. I now work as a guide, for a company and freelance.

PHILOSOPHY

Live a full, rich and happy life. Surround yourself with interesting people, only do work that you love, and love passionately.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have joined this to give people some of the "Kiwi welcome" I received when I came here all alone 10 years ago. I was staggered by peoples generosity and kindness and always felt that when the time was right, I could do the same. I also love meeting new people and have great wanderlust.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Overall as a host I have found CS to be wonderful. I am more than happy to share my home, advice, time, friends etc with people-it is much appreciated by me that my guests contribute too-a bottle of wine, a meal cooked-things like this all add to everyone's pleasure.
