About Me

Céad míle fáilte ("a hundred thousand welcomes") to my profile!

Actor and Voice-Over artist with a passion for adventure. Collector of moments, not things. Always looking to expand my horizons by learning new stuff from great people. Old soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In April/May of 2017 I went interrailing around Europe solo and stayed in hostels. Great for socialising, not great for the wallet. Met loads of people who recommended Couchsurfing - looking forward to meeting new people and sharing experiences.

Interests

I'm all about the arts but can find common ground on any subject. Big into personal development and pursuing self-actualization. Love asking the big questions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two truths and a lie...

1) I earned tens of thousands for kids to go to college
2) I wrote a song with Bono
3) I co-developed a life saving medicine

Teach, Learn, Share

As far as teaching goes, I can impart wisdom on the Irish language, how to play the guitar and help you master any accent!

If staying with you I'd love to learn about your area and hear your local recommendations. Sites, secrets, dishes... you name it!

As a host I can share knowledge of Ireland's history, culture and spots to visit in Dublin. I've worked as a tour guide and have lived here all my life.
I'm a great listener and love nothing more than good conversation. Let's share stories about life and all in between.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Authentic Irish 'craic' (nothing to do with drugs!), cooking, stories. My home. An authentic pint of Guinness.

Countries I’ve Visited
