New to Couchsurfing, but looking forward to it:)

Hi I’m Máirín, and I am an Irishwoman, living in Annecy, France. I am a passionate traveller, lover of the arts, cinema, music (including live), history and discovering people and their passions all over the world. Writing is my hobby, by the way, and I love nothing more than a lively chat over a glass of wine and a good meal. Oh and having a laugh along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people of all nationalities and cultures, while saving the pennies.

Interests

I love to write and read. My particular areas of interest are History, Music, Literature, Film, and the Arts in general. I have also worked on several humanitarian projects. I am very sociable, and love heading out into the world to be exposed to as many cultures, nationalities, and ideas as possible. I am an obsessive listener of Music and enjoy nothing more than heading to a live music concert or Festival. I practice yoga, a little meditation, and am a passionate skier.
