I am travelling around Europe and looking for somewhere to stay, and people to share my experiences with :)

I am a confident and independent female looking to explore different countries and cultures.

Iam very open minded and love to learn, so find meeting new people very interesting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently travelling and feel that the most valuable experiences I have had is not with other tourists but with locals. I want to further this by living in cities through more authentic accommodation and couchsurfing has come highly recommended from friends.

Interests

I love reading books and have recently (reluctantly) purchased a kindle, which is actually perfect for travelling and has now become an essential.

I study Classics and so find Ancient Greek and Roman culture - their sculpture and literature in particular - fascinating.

I also have a definite interest in food and find great pleasure in eating. Although I am sadly a very under practiced cook I am slowly growing to love the preparation of good food also.

Music, Movies, and Books

Shawhank Redemption has to be my favourite film.

There are too many amazing books I have read to pick a favourite!

I have a very open music taste and listen to whatever takes my fancy that day! My all time favourite artist must be Johnny Cash.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkelling in Mexico

Teach, Learn, Share

I am of the opinion that you can never stop learning and although I read and study a lot, I find the best way is often through your peers.

I love to hear about people's different ways of life and have watched my own life change drastically by learning through others, from my attitude and outlook to my eating habits or new hobbies I have discovered.

I love sharing experiences with other people but also enjoy my own company and have the confidence to do new things alone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories from my trip so far and my Irish heritage means i am always up for sharing a beer and a laugh.
