ABOUT ME

There I was, a little child, sheltered in loving arms, when my parents passed on the travel bug to me and like Spiderman, I gained backpacking superpowers, such as the ability to sleep outdoors in the starlight and on couches shorter than my height. From a young age I was taken to places far and wide, all over Europe and venturing to Africa and the far side of the Atlantic. When I became older I had to sort out my life and money situation first, but now I'm an unstoppable backpacking machine - I trek around the place so much I have to use an Excel Spreadsheet to keep track of it all! My most extensive trip was a year to Australia taking in SE Asia, Japan, NZ and the United States of A.

PHILOSOPHY

If it's messed up, don't sit there bitching - find a solution. Sometimes you just have to start your life from scratch. Life is an evolution, don't be afraid to let something go if it doesn't fit anymore.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was introduced to CS by Ambassador Therese, my partner in crime. I rent with other people, so I can't host, but I'm a regular fixture at CS parties.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Last time I hosted it was an awesome Canadian couple who were wowed, among other things, by the fact that the largest milk size in Ireland is 2 litres instead of 4!

兴趣

I'm a musician and a huge music fan. I play drums and have been in various bands since I was a teenager. Recently I've appeared at CS meets with some of the rest of the guys to play a few songs. I'm always going to gigs too. I'm trying to get into outdoor activities but it's hard to organise anything big! I work in IT and have a lot of things going on the web.
