**Dates I can't host anyone*

15th December 2015- 15th of January 2016 (inclusive-this is absolutely non-negotiable)

I'm Rory, 26, from the west of Ireland, but lived in a few different places now. I hate describing myself as I can never do it without feeling like an idiot.

I graduated business school and started working for a bank before leaving to teach English in Japan for six months.. 2 and a half years later I'm still here.

In my spare time I like hanging out with my friends, watching TV & Movies. Have a great interest in news & current affairs and travel, intend to travel the world properly some day. Genuinely enjoy getting to know new people and at any type of social gathering am usually chatting away to my new best friend for the evening. Memory like a sieve and my indoor voice sometimes gets lost.

I really should say something profound, but it'd just end up as a dick joke.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted some great people and some not so great people so I know what to do and what not to do. Looking forward to travelling, hosting and meeting new people.

Haven't yet couchsurfed myself yet, but looking forward to it.

Interests

Fairly broad set of interests- Travel, News & Current affairs- love discussing everything from the latest celebrity gossip to the economic crisis.

Fairly open minded, a big "if it doesn't harm me" attitude.

• cooking
• drinking
• news
• movies
• tv
• traveling
• business

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- have time for most music- except hard rock and crazy techno- have no shame admitting a love of pop music, but love a bit of everything.

Movies- won't go into too many specifics, but comedies are the favourites, enjoy a good drama too- a nice dirty legal drama. Love a film where everyone dies and hate mushy romantic films. Watching the notebook would be my ideal of hell

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once ate an after eight mint at ten to eight. I live on the wild side.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love meeting new people, chatting about life, travelling and plans. Love people who can laugh at themselves and the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and can cook something Irish or Japanese. I make a mean cup of tea and I'm good for a laugh with over drinks.
