Hi there!

As you can see, my name is Kerry I am a 23 year old living in the wild west of Ireland! I am an honest, loyal young woman with a creative flair and sunny disposition!

I consider myself a nature addict! I love walking, hiking, mountain climbing, kayaking, & horse-riding. I am often found out for a walk with my dog & a camera! :-)

Just graduated with my BA (Hons) degree in Graphic Design with IDI Scotland & the University of Hertfordshire. I am hoping to pursue a career in illustration and graphic design along with perhaps writing children's books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I only have a couple of references (as sometimes I also travelled with others), I have used couch-surfing about 8 or 9 times on my travels and attended lots of meet ups. 😊 Every time has given me wonderful friends & great memories!

Of course I would love to meet some new friends! :- ) I feel meeting locals & people with similar interests is a far better way to travel! Although I completely understand you might not have time, I am delighted to have someone join me on adventures in new places and spaces! I am independent and so like to wander around and explore by myself but also enjoy sharing cultures & experiences with others!

I am a student so doing this on a tight budget so truly appreciate anyone who has the kindness to help me out! I hope I can help others out at some stage also :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Pretty much anything I've done out of spontaneity, some might say hare brained, some might say brilliant 😆

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and Irish (not so useful but fun to learn all the same!)

I would love to pick up on some of your languages if you have any to share?

Good food, drink and plenty of fun and laughs!
