I'm and Irish person living in Barcelona since 2009.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because sharing experiences with locals is by far the best way to know a place. After travelling for 8 months in 2017, and being hosted by various people I'd like to give a bit back and host people in Barcelona.

Recently y I've been reading a lot of Asimov. My favourite book is 1984 by George Orwell. Big fan of George RR Martin, Michael Chabon as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I captained the Ireland National Team to a Silver Medal at the European Championships of Beach Ultimate Frisbee in 2013.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach you to throw a frisbee like a pro. I can usually figure out most tech problems as well.
