I'm from Idaho in the western USA and I'm traveling Ireland in April, May, and June with my best friend Dessie. She's awesome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel on the cheap and meet new people

Interests

Recently started playing American Old-Time music (think the fiddle tunes played at square dances). I can (kind of) play the fiddle, flute, and guitar, and I love playing music with new people and learning about what music other people play with their friends. I'm always up for teaching some fiddle tunes or sad cowboy songs.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - into Bluegrass right now! I love listening to music that other people like - it's hard not to like music that someone else shows to you

Books - Harry Potter, Salman Rushdie, Paulo Cohelo, Ender's Game

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, and especially bake (bread and sweets!). A few years ago, I was laid up after surgery and I spent the summer baking complex cakes with 1 arm in a sling! I can be trusted to leave a place cleaner than I found it.

Other potentially helpful skills: backing up trailers, gardening,
