CURRENT MISSION

To keep searching until I find it.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, eat good food, drink good wine (or good Guinness), read books and watch films. I play the trumpet and studied in London for a while before I decided it wasn't for me. I've been travelling and volunteering for 2 years now and really want to see as much of the world as possible. I love places steeped in culture and history, the bloodier the better!....(UPDATE: Now back living in Edinburgh, running a restaurant!)

PHILOSOPHY

Grace under pressure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some great experiences in France!

Interests

I love being oudoors, and I'm a pretty good organic vegetable gardener. I'm vegetarian too and spend as much time in the kichen as possible! I like eating out and discussing the meaning of life with intelligent, witty people. I'm really interested in politics, human rights issues and the environment.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love playing and listening to music, mostly indie rock, post-punk, some folk and jazz, classical. I read a lot, and I love anything escapist like fantasy and sci-fi, and philosophy, and I'm currently trying to work my way though the past Booker prize winners - I'm about halfway! I love film, and again it's mostly about escapism for me so a bit of Star Wars or Minority Report is great! I really enjoy anything by Ken Loach, Pedro Almodóvar, Tim Burton, and anything with Ed Norton or John Cusack in it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunset over South Harbour in Cape Clear Island, Co. Cork is the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed.
