ABOUT ME

Grew up in Ireland, but have spent a lot of my adult life travelling around. Currently living between Melbourne, Australia and the Philippines. I work for a government agency that carry out disaster risk reduction activities in the Philippines.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be scared by what you don't know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have used CS as a way to meet people in the countries I have travelled in. Now I am not travelling at the minute, I want to meet people who are!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in eastern Europe in Nov/Dec 2007 and loved it. When I lived in Asmara, I happily hosted the few intrepid Couchsurfers who make it here.
