Connecticut Yankee working on a Ph.D. in fairy tales in Ireland. I love tea, books and getting lost

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying to decide whether to spend the next year in Ireland or not. I let go of my apartment but I'm not completely sure I want to leave or commit to another lease. Make me love Ireland so much I can't possibly go or give me one last hurrah before I head back across the pond :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once taught a group of teenagers an EFL class at 8:30 in the morning without coffee. It was pretty tough :P

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am part Italian, so I can make a great pasta dinner (and chocolate chip cookies, since I'm American too!) I'm guessing most people know a lot about America but I would love to chill out and watch a good American film or have a few hamburgers with you :) I really appreciate having a place to stay and would be happy to help out around the house and yard. I'm very good with pets! I studied TEFL, so if you need any proofreading I'd be happy to help. It would be great to meet new people and explore Ireland and I'll definitely pay it forward to another traveller some day.
