Interests

A little of everything! Reading, writing (no 'rithmatic, thanks). I like coffee and bookshops and trivia, and being inspired when I least expect it.

I've been keeping a travel blog of my current adventure:

Music, Movies, and Books

Music | I do love music though I fear the Spotify culture has turned me into a kind of buffet-style consumer. Translation: I don't know any artists anymore, I just hear songs and add to playlists! I'm especially into live music; anything from traditional Irish or new folk to bluegrass and jazz.

Movies and books | I'll see and read anything, good or bad; give me all the literary and cinematic treasures and trash.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Followed my heart to Québec. (CHEESY). Ok, ok, I've got one. I hitchhiked Southern Ireland and it was an awesome, fulfilling and enlightening experience; and not at all the horror movie cliché I was trying to pretend was not in the back of my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes, I'm in favor of all of those things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Warmth, kindness and gratitude in the form of respect, cleanliness and maybe a glass of wine. Or two or three! If our schedules match up (i.e. you don't have to be at work all the day/evening!) I'd love to make you a nice meal. I'll also do the dishes!
