CURRENT MISSION

Heal any old wounds, so I can get back in the lava of things

ABOUT ME

I'm a 6 foot, skinny, ambitious Celt, with alot of love and patience for people. I come from a big family, so I know how to take up very little space. I'm a story-teller by profession and a listener by habit.

PHILOSOPHY

I get the same thrill from hearing personal accounts, watching a great performance or teaching an inspired class. That is the fundamental principal of my art, to connect people to each other, and themselves through stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Give my couch when I have one, surf on yours when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once slept on the cement floor of a Hindu temple for a month while I helped rebuild the other local temples. Saw a spider the size of this laptop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent three months in Moscow, where I saw Lenin himself, taxidermed, lying in a glass case in red square. I saw a cat try to EAT a 50 ruble note out of my hand. In new york, I've seen a car burst into flames and melt like chocolate. I climbed two volcanoes: Vesuvius and Genung Agung. I've heard an accordion transform a subway into a visceral Tim Burton nightmare. That ain't even the half of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mostly time and words. I can teach you how to stilt walk, frisbee, a few acrobatic lifts and stands, and a song or two. I really love learning to cook and bake!
