About Me

CURRENT MISSION

being ballsy. and meeting amazing people in the process...

ABOUT ME

I create, teach and learn whatever and whenever I can. I work full time in marketing at the moment to earn a living, while filling every free moment I have with dancing in my company and singing with my band. I surround myself with caring, creative people. I love and teach yoga, miss Ireland all the time, and eat constantly.

PHILOSOPHY

practice. practice. practice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't hosted anyone yet on my own couch, but I have surfed, and helped my other friends in Ireland host other couchsurfers. I'm a BIG fan of couchsurfing and meeting new people from all over the world. I've deeply enjoyed making friends from all corners of the globe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first experience through a friend -- I came to stay with her in Athens when I was en route to Ireland, and she was hosting three couchsurfers who we LOVED. We ran all over Athens together. Couchsurfing saved my life when I moved to Limerick for grad school - my very first friend, Paddy, and I met thanks to couchsurfing, and he welcomed me into his life with open arms, and gave me a 'family' I'll never forget!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got onstage to sing "Falling Slowly" with Glen Hansard at a show in Los Angeles. I saw him on the street before the gig and told him he should bring me up to sing with him (since he was playing with the Frames and Marketa wasn't there). Then during the encore he called out into the crowd for me and we sang together. absolute dream come true...

Teach, Learn, Share

i teach dance and yoga - so i'm always down for a morning yoga session to start the day. love late-night drunken singing sessions. wanna learn more songs!
