About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit every country in the world, and come out the other side still smiling!

ABOUT ME

I am a 32 year old Irishman. I did a round the world trip back in 2010 and loved it, so I went back to Australia and have been here ever since. I spent the last 7 years in Brisbane, and in 2017 I moved to Sydney for a new job.

I am always up for trying something new. I love meeting people and hearing their stories!

I will try to respond to all couch requests - sometimes it will take a while due to a busy calendar.
Please don’t message asking to stay during times I have marked as unavailable - use the proper couch request function if you want a reply.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted when I was back in Ireland, and I surfed and went to CS meetups when I travelled in South East Asia, China and Australia. Now I have my own place in Sydney I am keen to host again.

Interests

I love films, computer games, beards, reading, rugby, swimming, golf, extreme sports - bungy jumping, cliff jumping etc.
I also like cats :)
