ABOUT ME

I am a uni teacher for 23 years. I love travelling around to meet people from all over the world , to exchange ,to enrich life. I did not find out that I am an outdoors person till I finished my first trip abroad (Australia). And I just found out it is Jazz that I love the most. I used to be crazy about badminton, and I am good at all kinds of sports. I enjoy having loads of spare time, and I enjoy the present moments I have. In 2014, I came to Dublin , and with 8 months, I did more hiking than most of the locals do, I would not have stopped if I hadn't developed this Achilles tendonitis. I love language learning as well, last six months, I was so passionate about Spanish, and now I can understand espanol a lot. and my next target is Arabic...would love to pick up the 4 biggest languages in the world. I also want to be a Wooofer, if anybody could recommend a farm to me, that would be very nice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2005 I homestayed with an Australian family for 3 months, since then I realized that staying with local people is best way to know the culture. I like communicating with people of different experiences, and from different cultural backgrounds. I think meeting people from different cultural backgrounds and listening to other people's story is basically the way to understanding human being.... and to get rid of the bias and prejudice, it will enhance the understanding and eradicate the barriers. I especially like to meet people with terrific experiences....Looking forward to meeting you !
