I'm from Dungarvan Co. Waterford in the Southeast of Ireland, and am currently living in North West London. After doing a Master of Performance in Collaborative Piano at the Royal College of Music, I am now teaching piano and working as a freelance musician. I am vegan, enjoy playing tennis and love the outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have stayed in host families in Germany and Africa in the past and I loved the cultural exchange, getting to know local people and being told more about the country! I absolutely love meeting people from other cultures: it never ceases to fascinate me the different ways people live in different countries, and just love learning about other cultures!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a full time musician so I love anything to do with it: playing music with people, exchanging music with people, teaching people to play instruments, going to concerts and gigs with people!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am hugely passionate about music so I end up having lots of conversations and exchanges about music!! I've also travelled quite a lot (USA, Ghana and Tanzania in Africa, extensively throughout Europe, and Australia and New Zealand) and love talking about travel with people and hearing about their adventures too! I'm also very interested in Philosophy and Psychology, so I really enjoy having deep conversations about these things!
