I am from a place called Galway on the West coast of Ireland. I have been living/travelling around NZ for the past year and am now moving on to Austria & Asia to backpack for a few months! I love guitar, surfing, rugby, squash, cooking, climbing and pretty much anything outdoors

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like a really great way to travel. Meeting locals and sharing our stories with them. There is no better way to land in a new city than by being greeted by kind strangers. I would be delighted to return the favour whenever I base myself in the one spot for a few months at a time. Life is all about helping each other out and having as much fun as possible while doing what we love the most.
