About Me

I recently graduated from Trinity College in Dublin. I studied business management, and before this Business and Economics at Trinity too.

Now hoping to move to London, so decided to move to here for three weeks (15th Nov - 6th Dec 2022).

I love traveling and have visited and lived in a few places, spent a summer in Vancouver with friends, and spent 7 months in South East Asia solo traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet cool people, and after staying in hostels for a very long time and meeting amazing people, this was recommended to me so many times.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:

Alchemist and Shoe Dog.

Music:

My close friends slag me for my music taste, but I love hip-hop (Nujabes) and music with no words, so sort of deep house / electronic (Bicep, Four Tet). I also like foreign music where I don't understand the words.

I am open minded and love discovering new music through friends and weekly recommended on Spotify.

Movies:
Don't watch that much films lately, but seen Watcher in cinema recently and enjoyed it.

TV-Shows:

Game Of Thrones - Fun fact I met Jack Gleeson (King Joffrey) and he was a legend in real life.

How I met your mother, Breaking Bad, Skins, The Inbetweeners, Peep Show, See.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Sky Dived for Charity in Ireland when I was still a school student
