22 year-old straight male. Born and raised in Australia to Irish parents. Travelling in Europe on an Irish passport.

Recent graduate from a politics degree, where I majored in Counterterrorism Studies and International Development. Choosing to undertake a gap year now before pursuing a full-time career.

While studying, I worked for 4 years for a small family events company, during which I developed a diverse skillset. From hiring out slushy machines, to bartending & finger food service, I loved that everyday was different!

Additionally, I studied a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Diploma in late 2024 to broaden my job
prospects while travelling.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Taking a gap year starting in April 2025.

While this will be my first trip using Couchsurfing, I have previous experience backpacking around E. Europe (3 weeks, July 2023) & Taiwan/Hong Kong (5 weeks, April/May 2024). Previously I have exclusively used hostels.

教，学，和分享

As a native English speaker and recent graduate of a TEFL Diploma, I would be happy to help hosts practice and improve their English.

I am keen to learn about the intricacies of local culture. History, politics, sports, cuisine and more!

^ English practice!

Also, the potential to have an Australian contact for the future. I don't currently have my own place but would be happy to help fellow travellers when that changes :)
