Hey! I’m Rob, I’m 25 and I’m from Dublin, Ireland 🇨🇮

I’ve been working as a Clinical Genetic Scientist for the past two years 🧬‍ but I’ve now decided to quit my job and travel South America!

I’m an outgoing guy who loves exploring different cultures, trying various vegetarian foods and experiencing new things!

Scuba diving is a passion of mine and I am a qualified PADI Rescue Diver 🤿🪸
On the weekends I love to hike in the mountains; I recently climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in June 🏔️ it was amazing!
I like to sing and I also play some piano (although I don’t get to practice much)

I also really enjoy partying with my friends and going to nightclubs till late 🕺 🪩 it’s all about balance

I speak Spanish and I am currently learning Irish Sign Language

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing for the experience! I’m traveling around the world and what better way to immerse yourself in the true culture of the country by staying with the locals!

I love getting to meet new people, share funny stories and getting to make new friends :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big Ariana Grande fan! Although I mostly listen to pop music, I do enjoy all types of music.
.
Music is a great way to get to know other cultures and I’d love hearing some traditional music from the countries I visit!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2014 I walked the Camino De Santiago in Spain. I did 125km over 5 days. It was an amazing spiritual walk and I gained so much from it! Staying in hostels every night and meeting new people each day getting to hear about their life stories was amazing!
It was a great achievement to complete it and you even get a certificate at the end!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all about genetics and the field I work in 🧬

We can also have great conversations about culture, science, music, and past life experiences!

I can show you some songs on the piano and teach you some Irish phrases! ☘️

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my fun personality and have a laugh!
