ABOUT ME

We are both people who want to learn as much as we can about the world around us and meet nice people wherever we go. We both play traditional Irish music (Jonathan plays the pipes and Amanda plays fiddle, a bit of pipes, and sings). Definitely need to see some places, meet cool people, and learn from them!

PHILOSOPHY

No one person is ever complete, it is through others that we create who we are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We started using CS when were were living in Ireland and traveling around Europe. Haven't used it since but hope to keep it as an option for people traveling to Western MA, or for our future travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The little we've had has been really positive... met some very cool people where we normally wouldn't have.
