Irish seamstress. On a quest for self-discovery, not to get too in-tents! Enjoy conversation and other peoples take on life. Positive & open-minded. I enjoy listening to live music and am in a few bands, playing the fiddle and backing vocals. I am also a Costume Designer for the Inishowen Carnival Group a few days a week. Like being outdoors, plenty of beaches and places to go for walks. Love animals and am hoping to adopt a retired greyhound soon. I am part of a local gospel choir, where I do a bit of conducting, so I get to travel around Ireland to go to national festivals and gigs with that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a bit Isolating this far north, it's nice to meet new people. Also, new people motivate me to go do things and explore my area, share how wonderful Ireland is at the top.

When I'm away... getting to know people, make real friends, connect and give back the hospitality that has been given to me when I've been away from my home.

Interests

There is so much... I go to a great Anti-Gravity Yoga class and like bringing friends to try it out. When I have time there's a surf school nearby I go out with. If I had more time, horse riding along the beach and indoor wall climbing I enjoy doing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much all good music, it really depends on my mood and setting. I don't own a TV, but I do binge watch Netflix on my laptop when I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started my own alterations and dressmaking business this year. Scary as fuck, but sure why not!

Teach, Learn, Share

I happy to have a go at teaching anyone basic Fiddle, Tin Whistle, how to Waltz, Jive and Square Dance, hand mending clothes for travelling. Yup, really random stuff like that.

As for learning... anything someone is passionate about I am up for trying.

And of course any ripped clothes that need a bit of TLC send them my way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Not planning on travelling anytime soon but If I do decide to bring my Fiddle I give you an aul tune. I've picked up a few South American meals I can cook for you too.
