About Me

Just another person who enjoys doing things that people like to do.
I'm back living in Ioannina for three months. I work for a non profit fab lab between 11am and 7pm Tuesday to Saturday, so you will be alone most of the day if that's okay with you. On the weekends I'd be super happy to show you the city, take you to parties or at least offer some tips for the region.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first started couch surfing when I was thirteen. My parents took me and my brother traveling and we used couch surfing where we could. The hospitality of complete starngers blew all of us away and when we returned to Ireland we decided to return the favor by hosting travelers in our home country. Growing up I loved having new and interesting people around the house. Now that I'm traveling alone I will once again rely on the hospitality of strangers

Interests

I grew up on a mountain next to the sea which gave me a deep love for all things ocean and outdoor related: hiking, scuba diving, free diving, mushroom foraging.

I also never say no to a game of football
