Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
South America! Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru. Maybe I can squeeze in Colombia for some salsa and sun before going back to a 'regular' life.
ABOUT ME
Shy but curious, I am looking for a bit of adventure. In May 2014 I left my job, home and belongings behind in New York to travel!
After a year of travelling and 3 months back in NYC, I moved to Dublin on a whim. And now after 4 years, I am searching for my next home.
PHILOSOPHY
I try to respect other people and be open to other ideas, opinions and life styles.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have been hosted a few times and my experiences have always been great. I have also joined a few camps in Sarajevo and Ljubljana and had a blast. It has been fun to meet up with my new friends in their hometowns.
Interests
I love hiking and I try to go at least every other weekend. My highest peak is Mt. Toubkal in Morocco. I loved hiking in Patagonia and will have to go back and hike along the carretera austral.
I love music, concerts , beer, coffee, food, traveling and learning new things. I swear one day I will learn to stand up on that surf board.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love music and used to have a radio show in high school and college.
At home I like to listen to indie rock, but I am a sucker for a good catchy pop tune.
However, when it comes to live music my tastes are broader, and I like anything from brass bands to bluegrass.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of my dreams was to walk the Camino de Santiago, which I did in 2010 (San Jean Pied de Port to Muxia).
One of the most amazing experiences of my life was seeing gorillas in the wild in Uganda.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my travel stories and my appetite.
