I'm Niamh, I'm 28 years old from England and have spent the last 5 years living in Brighton!

I am currently on a 2 month hitchhiking adventure around Europe, I plan to hike, swim, rock climb, frolic and do some woofing farm work :)

I am from a large family and love travel, culture, nature and people!

I love arts & crafts, music, dancing, being in nature, being with people, sharing stories, learning what inspires people and putting the world to rights over a beer or wine. I’m an anthropologist, so people, nature & culture are my thing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing so I can meet people, learn local knowledge and save some money along the way!

Interests

I love being in nature whether that’s swimming, hiking, cycling or rock climbing!

I love languages, politics, history, architecture and culture!

I love trying different food and cooking, generally sharing meals with people :)

I love dancing especially to live music/ DJs and of course, love a cheeky beveragino

Music, Movies, and Books

Khruangbin, Michael Kiwanuka, Last Dinner Party, Arlo Parks, Alice Phoebe Lou, Wet Leg, Raye, Little simz to name a few…

Movies almost always send me to sleep, it’s like a sleep hipnosis! I once fell asleep in the cinema before James Bond even got a gun out 😂

So there are many many films I haven’t seen/ have missed the end of… that said I like quirky films. Perhaps Amelie or pulp fiction would be my favourite. I recently did a marathon to watch lord of the rings for the first time! But guess who fell asleep in the last film?!

Lately I have been into political education books, but want to get back into fantasy fiction, I was to read more of bell hooks work and other feminist literature!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a participant on an Indonesian game show!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn random phrases in different languages, I know a Japanese colour song, a Swiss German lullaby. The more random the better, so please add to my collection!

I could teach some card games, tarot, moon ceremonies!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share food, stories, laughter 😋
