ABOUT ME
I am currently traveling SE Asia after a stint in Australia visiting family there. I am from Ireland and I was introduced to couch surfing by a friend when I moved to Manchester for Uni a few years ago. I thought it was an exellent concept for meeting others who love to travel and meet new people and share experiences. I have been traveling on and off for years and doubt will ever loose the love of travel and meeting new and interesting people. started at about 15 hitchhiking around ireland meeting all sorts of people which was an education in itself. Im currently studying nursing at manchester uni, love any kind of live music and the outdoors, nature, hiking ext.
PHILOSOPHY
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make u something else is the greatest accomplishment

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have met some interesting and unique people through couchsurfing. We have hosted people in manchester who where traveling, I've surfed here in the UK and with some CS'ers in Spain while on a road trip..which was really fantastic to meet people in a forgein country through couchsurfing. A major highlight of my couchsurfing experience was attending a CS party on the beach in Goa India for new years 2012! Incredible and fireworks on the beach...health and safety procedures are not observed in india :)
