About Me

CURRENT MISSION

What a crazy random happenstance.

ABOUT ME

I'm kind of quiet, but can also be chatty. I love being outdoors, camping, hiking, cycling. I love making stuff, painting, drawing, using my hands.

I'm from Ireland but have been living the last four years in Germany, mostly in Leipzig.

I am living with my girlfriend Solveig, she comes from Dresden, Germany and speaks English and German. We have a cat, a curious cat, called Gretel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

surfing and hosting (hosting, not always through couchsurfing)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed quite a bit in different countries and hosted here in Leipzig a few times.

Interests

Love nature, forests, mountains, lakes and seas. Drawing and painting - Making Stuff (sometimes in glass)- its the greatest thing ever.Chocolate and baking with chocolate, ask me about my Death by Chocolate, or the Bread and Butter Chocolate pudding. Being silly (this can take a while to emerge). Reading and writing. Travelling (I love to travel (and while travelling to draw, paint and write)). Live Music and dancing. But if not dancing and still going out, then quietish relaxed places for talking are always good. Good breakfasts and dinners with great company. Arty stuff. Quiet moments. Connectivity.(and brackets (i like brackets (no idea why)))
