About Me

I'm a right brained freak in a left brained world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted a few people, not many, in Belfast. This is mostly due to only being here for summer, and so trying to spend as much time with family then. I will help you if you're in real need though, the streets of Belfast are rough! I haven't surfed as much as I've traveled - thanks to having friends all over the world who let me stay with them. I will cultivate a more involved CS experience as time goes by though, I'm sure of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a lot of amazing things (the Solomon Islands has stayed with me) but sometimes they're all left dazzled by a word here or a look there...

Teach, Learn, Share

The idea that "a duck's quack doesn't echo and no one knows why" is a lie. It does echo.

I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none.

But I would much rather learn. About whatever you have to teach me
