About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love life. adventures, sublime singalongs, walking around with no destination, meeting new people, hanging at sidewalk cafes, reading a good book, doing my own thing, taking risks, feeling infinite!

I am studying at Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland for the year doing a MA in Irish Studies. My research interest is in interfaces and urban planning for contested space. I am also learning Irish language and want to be a world-champion set dancer!!

PHILOSOPHY

say yes to (almost) everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have couch-surfed in France and Germany. I can't host at the moment but would be down to meet up for a drink/a tour around- I love being a tour guide.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing was in Bordeaux - it was a wonderful weekend - ukelele jam sessions, oysters for lunch, learning about wine, meeting people from all over the world, and taking long walks around the beautiful streets. i also went to Lille, and it was unforgettable; i met such fantastic people, barbecued in the park in the sunshine, played mini golf in the street, and learned how to really dance!
Last, I visited Berlin for a week and loved it - my host was the perfect guide to the energy, the music, the art...memories and lessons i will always carry with me.

Interests

Music: reggae, rock, punk, ska, electro, jazz - any kind of concert just to go. hiking, camping in random places, exploring, museums, new ideas. research, writing, reading, partying.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The last medieval bastion of Europe; camping on the Aran Islands off the coast of Galway. Remote, empty, barren, beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a real passion for teaching/learning about Irish history through the centuries. and I love people - learning from them, hearing their stories, having a chat or a long conversation.
