My Name is David. I am 30 years old and I come from Ireland. I have been in Canada now for the past 2 years working mostly. I am now doing the travelling thing before I go home for Xmas. I am currently in BC and going to Newfoundland very soon.

I am a non drinker, not smoker. I know what your thinking right. I'm Irish and I don't drink. That's a first. It think it must be.

I'm friendly, sometimes quiet sometimes can't stop talking. Iv been told that I'm both introverted and extroverted at the same time which maybe is a first too I'm not sure.

I have travelled as much as I could throughout my early to late 20s and have now come to Canada to follow my dream which will work out when immigration law becomes more liberal and more logical to international students. Dreams don't come easy nor are they handed to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have couch surfed in the past but not near enough I feel. I am very eager to do more while I'm here in Canada. I've couchsurfed in Germany and Denmark. I also except hosts whenever I'm back home in Ireland.

Interests

Big music fan. From 1920s blues records to kraftwerk. I think that explains my tastes fairly well. From Robert Johnson to Kraftwerk.

The two most influential bands in history in my opinion are The Beatles and Kraftwerk.

To name every band I like would take forever. I'm a big Dylan and Tom Waits fan. I'm a big Wilco fan and Sturgil Simpson fan also.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch hiked across New Zealand, I havent done it yet but I will and thats shark dive, I have skydived overrated I tought, You dnt have time to enjoy it cause it happens so fast and the fact that your strapped to a total stranger decreases the enjoyment out of it having to enjoy the excitement while having small talk aswell,

I travelled on a bus in Cambodia and we pulled in for a 15 minute break to get something to eat and go to the bathroom. I saw the bus pull off and drive towards the highway and ran after it as fast as I could. I then realised that it was the other bus that pulled in before us. Everybody was staring at me thinking I was a bit simple so I casually walked back and acted like I was just going on a run. I did some stretches then against the wall. I think the bought it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning from people who are kind of weird and unique and not like other people, People who don,t take life to seriously and go with the flow, I like about anybody who is interested in conversation realy, anybody who is like me. I like me.
