I'm 19 years old, and everybody's favourite Irishman.

Love meeting people from different countries/cultures. Love speaking and learning foreign languages and I love ending up places I would never expect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the moment, living at home and all, I don't really have a say in who gets to stay here but trust me; any support, help, advice or couch shared with me will be repaid!
As I said above, travel and people are what inspire me and I jump at any opportunity. I think Couchsurfing is such a wonderful community, I have attended Couchsurfing events in Florence before and I found the people to be exactly how I expected. Open-minded, easy going, understanding, intelligent and gentle people and I felt right at home. I feel privileged to have been able to be apart of something like that, and like Couchsurfing.

Interests

I love to read, to write, to play music and to watch and make films. I am very creative at heart and I am always playing with ideas. When I am not working or being creative, I love to keep active. I love the outdoors, but unfortunately being from Northern Ireland, that isn't something that is always 100% pleasant, so I like to swim when it rains. Swimming in natural lakes is one of my favourite things to do.
