**I'm currently traveling, not hosting!***

My basic story! I'm Irish, and have lived in Dublin for most of my life (apart from Cork, Madrid and Barcelona). I studied Philosophy and Linguistics in University and have spent the last two years teaching English as a foreign language. I'm taking a break from that now to do some travel and volunteering- and seeing where that takes me next :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To save money while travelling and meet lovely people, which is the most interesting part of travelling anyway.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backflipped off a pier. And once I had a dream in black and white. Those are both lies, I'm not very good at this kind of thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not quite sure what this section means...I like learning about pretty much anything and there's not much I can teach! Maybe a basic English lesson if you like, but that wouldn't be much fun!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook you dinner and make you a piece of jewellery :)
