Overview
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...:)
