Hey! My name is Aislín and I'm 30 years old. I made a Couchsurfing profile years ago, never got around to using it and decided that now was the time!

Travelling has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember and I've been lucky enough to hit six of the seven continents. Antarctica has evaded me but hopefully not for long!

At 22 I wandered off to Spain for what I thought would be a fleeting 6-month fling, that developed into the country I now call home. I embraced the people, language and culture and they embraced me in turn. Inadvertently living abroad for most of my twenties has helped me learn more about myself than I could have ever imagined, and opened my mind to experiences that I didn't know were possible.

80% of my Youtube search history involves people talking, making, describing, or eating food. Let's go eat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a fan of people, and through first-hand experience, I know that the best way to discover a new place is with the help of a local. Show me /tell me / wow me with why you love where you live. If you do you'll be in the company of an avid listener and an enthusiastic activity buddy. If there's something cool happening and you want to go, tell me it's cool. I'll believe you and we can go.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite film: Goodfellas

Favourite song: Baba O'Reilly by The Who

I couldn't name a singular favourite book, I would feel like I'm cheating on all the others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've moved to three countries alone.

Achieved full working fluency in Spanish within two years of learning. (See example: hola)

Swam in phosphorescent plankton.

Completed the hike down (and back up again) to KelingKeling beach in Indonesia at the height of tourist season in a pair of crappy, broken flip-flops.
