I´m 28 years old and work in human rights back home in Ireland. I´ve taken 6 months off though to travel and volunteer in South America. I´ve been working with an anti-mining project in Celendin in Peru for the past 4 weeks and now I´m about to start my travels properly and am very excited.
I love meeting new people and gaining new experiences.
Also I´m a vegetarian

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting, hopefully like-minded people in the places I´m travelling to make the experience even better and to learn about places from the people that live there.

Music, Movies, and Books

My all-time favourite book either the Wind in the Willows or Catcher in the Rye. I love novels in general though and am constantly reading. I love a wide variety of authors like Terry Pratchett, James Ellroy, Ian Rankin and Zadie Smith as well as classic literature.
Music wise I like a wide variety, especially if there´s a bit of protest in there. My favourite artisits are probably Van Morrison and Bruce Springsteen.
My favourtie films would be things like the Goonies, the Lion King, Stand by Me and Brief Encounter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once had to follow Eddie Izzard round for a day with a big board that said ´YES!´ It was for a referendum and he was absolutely lovely, even when the wind made me accidentally smack him on the head with the sign (three times).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach swimming...
Also I love to cook for people and if you want to know anything about international human rights or the politics of the UK and Ireland, I can help with that!
