ABOUT ME

I'm a bit shy, but open up quickly, I'm open to new experiences, enjoy bad jokes and love getting to know all kinds of different people

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to try new things and to not hold myself back from new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few times and surfed once. They were all good experiences and I look forward to continue to meet people this way :)

Interests

I'm interested in a wide variety of things. I love tv, reading, music, learning new languages and about other cultures, trying anything new, and I love meeting new people. I love animals, chilling out to folky (or in Regina Spektors case, anti-folky) music, discovering the cool, hidden away spots in cities, as well as dorky things like Harry Potter.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love watching a lot of different tv series, everything from Friends and The Simpsons, to Breaking Bad and Orange is the New Black. I love lots of music as well. I'm a big fan of Regina Spektor, Mumford and Sons, Of Monsters and Men, and also a lot of the chart music.
I really love reading as well. I read a lot of novels as well as non fiction books. My favourite books are Rebecca and Special topics in Calamity Physics. I also love the Harry Potter series. I love reading about the ancient world, politics and I've recently started reading more books about artists, including my favourites which are Toulouse-Lautrec and Vincent van Gogh.

Teach, Learn, Share

Overall, I am interested in meeting people from different places and learn about them and their culture.
Because of this, I don't want to host people who use my house as a free hotel or remain a stranger.
If I have time and my guest wishes, I can show them around Dublin and am always happy to go for a drink.
I am interested in the arts, so I can advise on what might be on in the city ie theatre, music, festivals.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook food, teach some Irish if they are interested (I also know traditional Irish singing and dance, if my host is interested I can teach them a bit), and share my experience in their country if they would like to spend time with me!
