About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life. Have fun.

ABOUT ME

I grew up on a small town in a seaside town in the north east coast of Ireland where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea. I have five brothers, a mum & dad, 2 dogs, a few rabbits and always a few cats about.
I'm an honest and diligent person, I understand peoples views and cultures and respect other peoples beliefs and property.
I am always active and a sports fan; mostly soccer, rugby and gaelic which is irish football, bit of a cross between rugby and soccer. One thing I miss is playing for my local team.

I'm currently living & working in Dublin as a Civil Engineer.

PHILOSOPHY

Happy-go-lucky.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've used couchsurfing to meet up with people and find a place to crash sometimes when travelling. When moving around with my work I've used couch surfing to meet people in my new location.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All good, hosted some nice people in my place when I was working in the South Island of New Zealand and camped in a guys garden at a food festival in New Zealand.
Met couchsurfers when I lived in Inverness and gave them some good advice for a few days in the Scottish Highlands.
Couchsurfed when I travelled to Germany for a weekend and in Barcelona.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played a schools final in front of thousands in Belfast on St Paddy's day, the game was also on national tv. Unfortunately we were beat in the last minute but the whole experience of reaching the final was amazing and such a great achievement for the small school i went to, It was only the first year we entered the competition.
