Overview
About Me
I grew up in the countryside in Ireland. I am very close to my family and to my friends from home.
I moved to Maynooth, Co. Kildare when I was 19 and did two years of University where I studied Music and French, played loads of music, met amazing people and had an absolute blast.
This year, as part of my degree I moved to the North of France, where I am learning French among other things, working as an English language assistant and travelling loads, before I head back to Maynooth for my final year.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
In order to get to know new, like-minded people and to be able to make the most of my time in France by travelling without much money in my pocket!

Teach, Learn, Share
Don’t waste your time Leuconoe, living in fear and hope
Of the imprevisible future; forget the horoscope.
Accept whatever happens. Whether the Gods allow us
Fifty winters more or drop us at this one now
Which flings the high Tyrrhenian waves on the stone piers.
Decant your wine; the days are more fun than the years
Which pass us by while we discuss them. Act with Zest
One day at a time, and never mind the rest."
Horace
