About Me

Hey, I'm an Irish-Italian student. I'm studying Film Studies and French at Trinity College Dublin. I'm on a year off-books/gap year/sabbatical year right now and am living in Paris to make the most of the opportunity! I worked in a bar in Dublin, and am now working in a bar in Paris. Aside from that, I'm an amateur(ish) photographer and videographer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started using couch surfing recently when I first moved to Paris, to find places to stay while I looked for a house. It was great to have someone be generous enough to host me in their home, and it was much more personal and comfortable than having to stay in hostels. By chance I then actually found my new apartment through couch surfing! It's a really cool community :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help people out with any of the languages I've put down, mostly with English and Italian. I'm very good at writing well-structured pieces and editing in English (so CVs, cover letters, whatever really I can help out with). I'm not an expert in photography or film, but I'm happy to share any knowledge I have - getting good exposure, video editing etc. I could take some photos for people too!

I'd like to get much better at my French because it's deteriorated a bit in the last year or two! It'd be cool to learn more from other photographers/videographers too. I'm not too fussy though.
