**Currently not accepting guests**
I'm really sorry guys but at the moment I have returned to school and I am also planning my wedding, and these two activities are taking up 100% of my time. I keep seeing requests come in and I just don't have the time or energy to respond so rather than leave you with a false sense of hope, I'm turning off requests for now. Once life settles down and my exams are over, I can return to hosting! <3

ABOUT ME

I like photography, art, cooking, wine, animals, books, Shakespeare, music, swimming, singing, and exploring. I moved to Cork in July 2021, and before that I lived in Hungary (Budapest), Germany (Stuttgart), and Wales (Swansea, Cardiff) where I finished my degree in film. In September 2023 I'm going back to school for archaeology.

I live in Cork city centre and have two pet rats: Aoife and Sister Michael.

Here are a couple links to check out what's on in Cork each week:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to see the underside of places when I travel, the dive bars and random parks where tourists don't normally go. Seeing a new place with a local leads to such a richer experience, and I like meeting new people along the way.

Interests

I love photogrpahy, both digital and analogue. It's my dream to set up my own darkroom one day in my house!

I like to cook, I love a good dry red wine, and I'm always interested in going to concerts, events, festivals, gallery openings, parades, or anything else happening in town. I have a lot of energy so I don't like to sit around for long. The exception to that rule is knitting!

Some other hobbies of mine include music, art, knitting, cycling, swimming, hiking, reading, and singing. I sing in a local choir and I'm also taking harp lessons.

Music, Movies, and Books

Top six favourite books (because I couldn't narrow it to five): Jane Eyre, War and Peace, The Pillars of the Earth, Catch 22, The Count of Monte Cristo, and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest.

I have a book bucket list, and I'm always taking suggestions so feel free to make a recommendation. The only genres I don't like are mystery and detective.

Music: Josh Ritter and Will and the People are my top favourites of all time, but I like anything rock'n'roll, alternative, or folk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 22 I sold/donated everything I owned, moved to Wales on a one-way ticket, and have lived in Europe ever since.
