About Me

Hey there!

~ I'm a BIG solo traveler ~
I am originally from DUBLIN IRELAND , I have not stopped roaming around for ten years now.... alongside traveling around I based myself in a few places such as : New York, spain,Thailand , LA, Geneva, France, London, Buenos Aires Argentina, Zanzibar and Italy.

Currently I’m still a nomad - but if I’m back at my vacation home in Alicante , I can host you. But it’s rare as I’m always coming and going. But If you host me- you’re welcome at my family home in Ireland as a thank you.

As you can see travel is MY LIFE MY ADDICTION.
I just cant stop! Im hooked!
66 countries completed …
so far :)

I am a true nomad and my home is each place i visit that i fall in love with. I leave pieces of heart everywhere i go .... <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

**********
One important thing,
Please don't get this beautiful cultural Cs community mixed up with Tinder, it's a pity that some people ruin the real meaning of couch surfing.

Couch surfing is NOT tinder, use tinder if you wanna hook up?! It’s not difficult ?

Couch surfing is a cultural exchange only and gaining new friendship around the globe.

I have ZERO interest to meet any man on this app for anything more than just friendship!!
I know for certain my dream man would NOT on this app

***********************************************

COUCH SURFING is NOT a dating website.

NO CREEPS. NO PERVERTS.

If you make me feel uncomfortable I will report you to CS & leave you a negative reference

***********************************************

Plus,
I won't reply to your messages saying just "hi”
???
and I will not reply if you have * 0 references * .
And do not send me a friend request if we haven't met.

So the main reason why Im on this site & why I love Cs is how it helps me while travel around solo. I have company instantly !
I can make new friends easily, I feel safe and cared about by a local person and I am able to emerge myself in the new cultures and learn about the lives of the people I am staying with.
Up to now I have learnt so much and I have friends around the world thanks to it.
It’s the best thing in my life. Thank you to the amazing couch surfing <3

So yeh now i am currently floating around the world here, there, everywhere......so I may just message you along the way..... :-D you’ll hear from me very soon hehehe!!
