Overview
About Me
There are pictures of me in my other profile pictures, if you would like to see what I look like. I just like tigers
CURRENT MISSION
Using words more productively than last year
ABOUT ME
I love onesies! Especially animal onesies... got loads of them: tigers, lions, zebras, cat, Pooh bear, cookie monster, frog, parrot... if the house is freezing, you can borrow a onesie.
Polite and kind, wise but daft, colourful and odd. relaxed, inviting, curious, wholehearted, enchanting, up-in-the-sky-down-to-earth guy. love meeting new people and making new friends. a tall Irishman with lots of interesting tales to tell and places to show. Actually this is copy-pasta from my references, so read more there :)
PHILOSOPHY
The teacher is the learner is the teacher.
Hospitality does not need Venture Capital; in fact the two themes are anathema to each other
Working together we are stronger
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE
I host a lot; I love surfing. Sometimes I CS with my Dog 🐕 She is a lover not a fighter.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfing was sold in August 2011 and it hasn't got better since. Much of website worked better before but with half the bling. Maybe one day we'll have bling and functionality :)
To be fair, at least it is easier to friend someone now, without being given the third degree. AND the app is handy. BUT the app doesn't include groups, so groups are dying
Interests
rainbows eclectic confused from metaphysical to cooperative; writing chatting thinking doing... sometimes very slowly; reading laughing chocolate icecream; megalithic monuments prechristian Ireland driving on narrow roads dressing up 1984 (look at us all carrying a Big Brother device in our pockets:) bright colours wearing a suit once a year reiki Brave New World kila Dogs
Id love to see a real not-for-profit hostpitality organisation thrive ... bewelcome.org is my favourite, candidate. I be Celtic.Tiger over theres too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Plankton emitting their own light in the pitch dark... it's called bio-luminescence, and it's amazing when you can see "sparks" of lights on your legs as they come in contact with the plankton, or see you footsteps glowing softly behind you. The light is very soft, so even moonlight hides it, but the plankton come into the local bay every year for a time. One night I even found a mermaid! There is a sad side to this story too but I will save it for later :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I like to practice the languages I know.
I want to learn about language teaching shortcuts, standup comedy and creative writing. I wanted to write a book or something, but i've got a short attention
And to get to the point more quickly.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I do laughter yoga workouts (see http://www.laughteryoga.org/) Get me a group of people and we can do one together!
I am full of stories; i try to take a share in housework without being asked... I like to bring something that we both can enjoy... let me know what you think that might be if it is not obvious from your profile
