I am a nurse from Northern Ireland currently on a 2 year career break to travel the world. Will do this for as long as I possibly can!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people and have much more enriching experiences hanging out with natives who know a place! Love sharing experiences and stories and getting inspired by other people's tales! Wanting to have more important conversations about the world!

Intereses

I love music and am known to perform karaoke with little to no persuasion when the mood is right! I am passionate about animal welfare and the environment. Take a keen interest in politics, simply because I think we have a duty to look out for one another and ignorance and apathy don't work. I love volunteering and just finished a stint in a zoo in Ecuador for abandoned exotic pets.

Música, películas y libros

Eclectic- I can appreciate most genres of music but I'm partial to a bit of Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, as well as classical, trance and most pop. I have been traveling for a while now so know nothing contemporary at the moment!:/ learning to salsa here in Cali, Colombia, so I'm getting into the music down here! films-Indiana jones, the matrix, LOTR, batman trilogy (Christopher Nolan). Basically, I love a good trilogy. Again, I can appreciate anything from horror to sci-fi, thriller to comedy.
Using whatever free time I have when traveling to catch up wit the classics. However, currently reading the wild swans.
