About Me

I'm an outgoing, adventurous guy. Eager to meet new people and travel to new places. Love learning about different cultures and peoples. I have a huge bunch of different interests, and I'm always great to talk to. Either visiting me, or me visiting you, I'd love to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im on here, because I love talking to people. I love meeting new people. I always feel like there's a great big world out there, outside my little bubble. Full of new sights and new adventures. Being on this app makes it easier to see the world, one couch at a time.

Interests

I'm a creative person. I love listening to and playing music, I've made short films in the past. I also love reading books, and I've written my own stories and poems in the past. I love to paint and make digital art as well.

But I'm also a bit of a nerdy type. I like sci fi, playing video games and reading comics. I love to go to the cinema, and just watching films in general.

I love discussion and debate. My friends and I are always talking about something, such as TV shows, what's going on in the news, that kind of thing.

I like to keep busy, so I love finding new things to be interested in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, when I had to get back to Maynooth from Dublin, I decided to walk the journey instead of taking the bus. It took hours, and I couldn't feel anything afterwards, but I felt I could conquer the world.

Also, I finally decided to actually make my first album last year. I made it entirely by myself, in secret as I didn't want people to know til it was done. It took a month of work, but when it was finally online, I felt like a king.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very open-minded, and I'm willing to learn whatever you show me. I have a huge hunger for knowledge, and a desire to connect with new people from different places. I know a few things, I'm not ready to say I can teach, until I learn more.

I'm only starting off, so all I can share right now is an open mind and a positive frame of mind.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm great fun to have around. I'll be super interested in seeing all the sights of your town, and meeting new people. I'm also neat and tidy when it comes to sleeping over, and I don't make any loud noise or anything. You'll have a great time
