Positive: a dreamer, not so positive: a dreamer.

In the words of those who know me best: Friendly, helpful, compassionate, kind, appreciative, good sense of humour, easily distracted, drinks too much (the last one is from my mother).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find people interesting and I like making friends all over the world.

Interests

I like the outdoors and nature. New things and variety. Medium-hot spicy food. I love cycling in the sunshine with music, playing football, walking beside people and talking all day, climbing mountains (hiking).

I'm mainly interested in having fun with people and I suppose I talk about philosophy, science, environmentalism, sustainability, minimalist living. I'm not the greatest dancer but I try to have fun.
Want to start hang-gliding and do more scuba diving.

My dreams are to swim with whales and dolphins, go into outer space and do a wingsuit base jump (though I don't think I'll be brave enough for the last one).

Music, Movies, and Books

Atmospheric, sparse, spiky. Don't really have the appetite for new music that I used to, just reliving the glory days! Always looking for a good recommendation though.

Recent movies I saw and liked: Kimi no na wa, 3 Billboards

Sapiens, 1984, Lord of the Rings, Malazan Book of the Fallen, Sophie's world, His Dark Materials.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born!
After that it started to get less impressive ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you something about the history, culture and life in Ireland. Maybe cook something Irish if we find the ingredients! Although Ireland is not famous for its cuisine. Hopefully we can just share a fun time together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open-minded and optimistic worldview, a willingness to try new things and an thankful nature.
If that's not of interest, I can make you dinner, they say the way to everyone's heart is through their stomach!
