ABOUT ME

I'm an Irish girl currently living in Dublin and I'm a PhD student in linguistics. I love to travel, learn new languages and spend time with people from other cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Back in 2010 I did a trip from Cairns, Australia to Riga, Latvia overland. It took 3 months and I went through 8 different countries. This was where I first experienced couchsurfing and got to meet some fantastic Russian people who hosted me. Since then, I've had some exciting travels in the U.S. and stayed with the lovely Violet in Chicago. My next travel plans are closer to home in the U.K. and Germany :)
