CURRENT MISSION

To take over the world. Or to travel it!!!!

ABOUT ME

First of all, I love to travel and meet new and wonderful people so I guess I'm on the right website. I don't take myself too seriously and neither should you. I love to listen to a good adventure story. .

I was born in Dublin, my parents moved while they had sense and I grew up in Limerick. I then spend 8 years in Cork City before moving to Toronto in 2010 on a Work/Travel Visa in November 2009 and I've basically been here since...

Oh and my name is Ger, pronounced like "her", "were" or eh, "ber", but don't worry it's an Irish thing!! ;)

PHILOSOPHY

It's better to regret something you have done, than to regret something you haven't done.....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've attended the CS weekly meetings in Cork and Toronto. If you're looking for someone to party with, travel with, hang out with, cause chaos or chill with I'm the guy you need. If you're looking for advice on Toronto or anywhere in Ireland or parts of Europe, I can help you out....but I can't promise it'll be good advice!! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some amazing people from all over the globe through the Couchsurfing Community and most are still my friends to this day. It's a great way to experience and I don't regret a single minute of it.
