About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Recently moved back from U.K. Open to welcoming guests for short stays but transport here is tricky so that would need ro be considered.

Like anyone else in this world; Be Happy!

ABOUT ME

I am a fairly easy-going person. I love life with all its highs and lows. I have met many interesting people and have many made great memories. I like laughter but also debate.

I have traveled quite a bit, although it's all been pretty local as of late. I have been enjoying life in Bristol which is a city much loved by its residents, including me.

Pienso que soy una persona divertida con un buen sentido de humor. Me gusta compartir con los demás personas y aprender de ellos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have enjoyed the great hospitality of CS hosts all over South America. I have also hosted people in Ireland. Couchsurfing beats staying in hostels any day, and that's got nothing to do with saving money. I have had so many amazing experiences as a result of Couchsurfing and have met many great people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The region of the world that I know best, apart from my own, is Latin America. I have traveled through most of South America plus Cuba. I have lived for two years in Colombia and LOVE that country.

In terms of travelling "feats", I once cycled 600 KM in Sweden one summer on a very rickety, not-fit-for-use bike. In 2012 I ventured on a 8,000 KM motorbike trip down the Atlantic coast of South America with my friend on a 125cc bike. Throucgh Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guyana, Brazil.
Also, I suppose you could count hitch-hiking the entire east coast of Australia, but that was way back when I was just 18 and probably quite reckless.

I have had many incredible experiences but I think you can don't necessarily have to travel far to have such experiences. A little bit of imagination, adventure plus good company can lead to anything, no matter where you are.

He sido muy fortundada en mi vida y sin tener mucha plata he tenido la bendición de ver muchas cosas increíbles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like listening to others stories and experiences and learn when and when I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am based near Louisburgh , Co. Mayo. At the moment I can only offer a single bed . Hope to get a blow up mattress soon for guests. Loads of beaches nearby but the transport links are not great at all here so.....
