About Me

I enjoy getting out to see places and meet people.
At the moment I'm travelling through the Americas and Caribbean with my boyfriend Jack. We volunteer, WWOOF, couchsurf and work in different projects where we can to meet locals and learn as much as possible about the places we visit. It would be great to meet many Couchsurfers along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We've hosted a few people in Manchester and have surfed some couches since we started our trip and would love to meet as many people on the road. We won't be able to host until next summer while we're travelling but will then definitely open our home - wherever we land.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago, I cycled from France over the Alpes through Switzerland to Germany for three weeks in December.

Teach, Learn, Share

We like to cook and share food, we love to learn other languages and can teach some Irish, German and English. Love to hear all sorts of stories and find out everything about the place we're visiting.
