Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Live for the moment. I am back hosting Couchsurfers after a long break! I have recently moved to Dublin and I am available to host once again!!
ABOUT ME
Hello! I'm 28 and originally from Tipperary. I studied Accountancy for four years in university in Limerick and also did a course in Special Needs Education. I am currently working in a hospital just in Dublin. I am a positive, outgoing and friendly person. I love to travel, spend time with friends and family and to play sports which I'm most passionate about.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is short, enjoy every moment of every day. You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honour. Happiness depends upon ourselves. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did. Explore. Dream. Discover. Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. I have found that if you love life, life will love you back. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It's brilliant fun and been a great experience so far! Love hosting and meeting new people from all over the world and I hope to do a lot of couchsurfing on my travels!
Interests
My main passion is soccer, I LOVE it!! I've been playing with my club most of my life and really enjoy it. I also like to play tennis, golf and go for long runs. I adore my family and friends and treasure spending time with them. I love to travel, meet new people and embrace different cultures. I like singing! Love going out for a few drinks at the weekend and dancing the night away! I am a huge music fan and try to go a few small gigs a year and a festival too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
It's quite difficult to think of one in particular but I would probably say visiting Auschwitz and Birkenau. It was quite harrowing and a very emotional experience but also positive and made me cherish life even more than before. You have to come here to appreciate the enormity of it all. Also, completing a three day meditation course in Chiang Mai was particularly amazing.
