ABOUT ME

Hey,

I'm an Irishman who moved to Australia. I'm from the middle of nowhere in the west of Ireland. I lived in New Zealand for a year after school then I went to Uni to Study Civil Engineering and now I'm in Australia to work, live and what .

I'm just back in Australia after travelling through South America / Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Personal Philosophy? I guess I don't know as it's constantly being changed and adapted to the different occurances in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to give the best impression of the place I come from and the people there. I love learning about different cultures. I have a pretty good location in the gold coast so I will try and host as much as possible.

I go to the regular couchsurfing events on the gold coast, it is how I got into it so I think it's important that there are people there every week. It's the easiest way to get new members involved for sure.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I arrived in Australia I met the gold coast couchsurfing community playing Frisbee and they were really awesome and hospitable.

I go to the regular couchsurfing events on the gold coast and I have also hosted. It is always a pleasure meeting couchsurfers.

Interests

Playing Soccer but will try my hand at anything.

Reading current affairs, pop science and history.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I could teach you a few phrases in Irish not that it would be any use to anyone :) I have some random nuggets of information I could share with you.

Learn: I'd love to learn Spanish. As a result of many false starts I have a little understanding of it but don't test me on that one.

Share: I'd love to share a drink with you. I'm usually the guy at the bar buying people a round
