About Me

Hello:)

Recently moved to Galway City where I'm doing my masters. I moved to Ireland in 2018 and worked in Dublin in residential care. Prior to this I lived in Amsterdam where I was born.

I have been traveling between Ireland and the Netherlands for a long time. I grew up in Ireland for about 5 years when I was a tiny child.

I Iove music a lot and have always pursued various dance forms like hula hoop, belly dancing and recently more circus arts. I really like spending time with nice people, and through couch surfing and traveling in general I have come across many lovely people! I think its nice to chill in parks and I like food and beer and cycling :) I love being outdoors in nature but appreciate being in the city where I can be involved with more social things. I find it important to work in places that promote community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to share experiences and I suppose have more meaningful connections with others. It just reminds me that there are good people around. We've hosted a good few people now in Galway and it has been so nice each time :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked to Germany with a friend that took us ages but was a great experience.
Just travelled through Europe for 2 months with backpack and then in a van and drove from Germany to Portugal and then to Ireland again!

Teach, Learn, Share

I dance so we can do hula hoop, circus arts or belly dance moves if you like, I would love to play more music together with people and perform more, share idea's and thoughts. visit nature places! I'm trying to learn how to juggle but I cannot yet...:)
