I'm recently graduated student from Washington State, USA on a working holiday in Ireland. I have been in Ireland since the end of July 2018 and am staying until April, taking trips to other countries in Europe in the meantime. I studied cultural anthropology in university and love culture, language, mythology, folklore, storytelling, and traditions

I enjoy going out for walks, bicycling and exploring my surroundings, embroidery and sewing, reading, writing, cooking. I love visiting museums, going to events and thrift shopping!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to travel in a different way - to make new friends and meet locals in places I travel, and to hopefully have mutually beneficial and enjoyable exchanges. I really appreciate when people are willing to open their homes to me as a quest and think that it's a really special thing.

I'm looking for hosts in Florence, and Bern in March 2019 for a trip still in the early stages of planning.

Music, Movies, and Books

Really enjoy the work of JRR Tolkien. High fantasy is my favorite genre

The Big Lebowski is my favorite film - I never get tired of it

You'll usually find me listening to Hozier, but I love tons of music - folk, americana, soul, blues, blues rock, indie, celtic and more
