About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a pessimistic, happy-go-lucky young go getter.

I really love traveling and meeting new people. It's always a different experience and I've met so many great people through this.

I enjoy learning. Studying. But I'm also genuinely endeared to just hanging out, doing nothing.

PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy the moment, live for the day, carpe diem; seize the... carp

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met a few people through couchsurfing. Having spent three months couchsurfing in the U.S. Now I'm travelling through it and I love the events, and have hosted one or two small things myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Three months in the U.S. Met people through different couchsurfing events. And I've traveled through France, learning the language, and getting to know the people. It's real good.

And I've traveled around Germany and Central Europe for a few weeks.

Interests

I enjoy board games and pool/snooker, so if you want to do some of that, cool.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the music of Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Bob Dylan. Also Nick Cave, Radiohead, Muse, Neil Hannon, MGMT...etc.

I enjoy some classical, some jazz, and usually I'm up for new sounds.

No very specific authors, I just loves books!

The Shawshank Redemption might be the best movie ever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw Tom Waits play live over the Summer, if you don't know who he is I would strongly advise you to find out. An American treasure from Pomona, Los Angeles.

I hitched a ride from England to France.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play a little music, including guitar. Also pool or snooker help to pass the time between music. Did I mention I can walk on my hands?

I can teach some stuff too. I know music basics and science basics, if that's your thing. Some light juggling anyone?

From cooking to craft to culture and everything in between. Fact is, if you know something, chances are I want to know it.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Ireland, United States
