About Me

MOTTO:

"Comme je trouve" - take things as I find them (family phrase from my Irish ancestors)

ABOUT ME:

2nd year master's student at the Royal College of Music, London | Composer/conductor/pianist/singer

I like anything creative - visual art, all kinds of music, architecture, poetry, performance art, dance, whatever!

Other interests include fitness, baking, recreational sports, and running

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I'm traveling, the best part is meeting and connecting with people all over the world. I feel like Couchsurfing is the perfect way to do just that! I had a great experience my first time using Couchsurfing in Oslo, Norway, with my host and a couple other guests from Romania, chatting with them, sharing drinks, and telling stories. I hope to make more memories this way the more places I visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about music - piano, orchestra, conducting, composing, theory, singing - and show you how I go about writing my own compositions. I'm also a politics junky and enjoy talking about current affairs and global politics. Philosophy is good too - not a savant, but I love to entertain life's "big" questions.

I'm always open to learning new things - doesn't matter what!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, United Kingdom
