Irish-English, grew up in Yorkshire, currently studying Linguistics & Philosophy in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

I like music, discussion, cycling, and meeting peopel from around the world. I'm always excited to chat with new people and to learn about their cultures!

Languages: English C2, German B2, Dutch B2, Esperanto B1, French B1, Spanish A2, plus lots of assorted words and phrases. Teach me your language!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting locals and making friends when travelling.

Unfortunately my living situation at the moment doesn't allow me to host surfers, although I would love to do so and will as soon as possible!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled 1,000 km along the entire coastline of the Netherlands!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am more than willing to teach anybody about the culture and language of my country, and anything else I can think of!

I love learning about other cultures, so if an exchange is on the cards, I'm totally up for it! I always try to learn a little of the local tongue before I arrive, so any help with that would be greatly appreciated.
